I'm cooler than you because I'm not. Think about it. I haven't.

About Me

I make short films and music videos , like this one here:
I make some mixed media art, too. You ought to buy some because my student loans make me sad.
'STACHE DANCE and POWER IN NUMBERS will be showcased at Siren Nation , November 1-4, 2007 in Portland, Oregon!
TWO NEW SHORTS ARE CURRENTLY IN THE WORKS. If you're interested in acting or working on crew, let me know. Also, please write letters of encouragement and send lots of flowers, chocolates, semi-precious stones, and cash.
POWER IN NUMBERS is one of the top 6 finalists in Paper Magazine's Un-Hollywood Digital Film contest, but sadly I did not win...But they did link me up with a still on their page . You can watch the video HERE (big) or HERE (little) .
'STACHE DANCE was sorta mentioned in the September issue of SPIN...by Dr. John Oates! It's on YouTube so love it + be my YouTube friend .
The first movie I ever saw in the theatre was Roxanne, starring Steve Martin. I was five and a half. This may explain everything.
