About Me


This profile was edited with MySpaceGrill Editor
I Direct, Edit, Shoot, Produce you name it. I have a full production crew(s) available at all times and have been working in this field for over 10 years, 5 Professionally. My goal in life is to help up and coming Artists in all fields. My main drive is Music Video's and Features... Currently have 5 plus features I've been writing and look forward to Directing those as soon as I have them completed. I'm in no rush to be a Feature Director as for I feel my Scripts and Stories only get better with age and time. Currently have a Feature Length Documentary on baseball coming out Spring 08' to spread awarness of what baseball organizations in communities can offer to our youth. I'm hoping it generates enough money to give back to Lower Income recreational centers who can use some new equipment, upgrades to fields and really just give back to those who really want something positive in their lives. Plain and simple..I'm a Humble L.A. Native who has been looking through a lens since I was about 5 years of age, When I didn't have a lens I made one out of whatever i felt I could look through and create compositions. I truly hope my work touches people in a way that Formula Based hollywood doesn't. I Like Filming Raw, Real and Straightforward...Check out my Video Section for my latest projects and Enjoy!-RjM, cc

I'd like to meet:

Those who intrigue me, those who can feed my mind creatively and have the ability to collaborate on my level, and who can even take it up another notch and teach me a thing or two.Who I don't want to meet:Fake, materialistic, non-humble, have something to try and prove, fake smile wearing, individuals who front on their lifestyles."You Can never go wrong by being yourself."

Music:

You can catch me on any given day on Camarillo and Bellflower mixing vinyl loudly. I mix anything from Fleetwood Mac to The Beatles and everything else you can think of, Bassey LP's, Spoken word mixed with some drum loops I've created, House (Funky, Jazz Influenced), Hip - Hop of Course (By Hip hop I mean, the Roots, Talib, Del La Soul, Pharcyde, Deltron, Grouch, Wu, Biggie, Deuce Pacs..lol and many more), Spin some Sinatra, Credence, Julio Ilgesias, Chente, R. Durcal...alllll types of crazy mixes people don't expect. I do it up. Be on the Lookout for Collabo...Droppin some beats in 2007. RIP J-Dilla!!!! The illest on the Prod Tip. Trying to follow in your steps playboy, keep them heavens rocking!

Movies:

Television:

I HATE the tube, loved it as a kid...but you gotta get out and do what your passion is. Even if you just got home from work and want to relax and watch the tube all night...go work on some music or some photos, design, paint..anything, you'll see how much more relaxing it is to relax through creativity. TV's cool a little here and there, but who am I to say. Thats how I do it. Now coming up with a good show, thats a different story, Good television is fading away into the depths of the reality sea o'misery.

Books:

I only read books referred to me by friends. The best growing up was - Where the Wild Things are, Where the sidewalk ends, Light in the Attic and The Giving tree. Lately, Me Talk Pretty one day, Naked, and some Filmmakers Bio's, Moving on, Woody Allen, In the blink of an Eye.Shel Silverstein is good too, his Adult Poems are interesting too.

Heroes:

"Press on" - Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: Nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not: Unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education alone will not: The world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. .. width="425" height="350" ....

My Blog

Spongers, Bodyboarders!!!!!

"F..$&in' spongers!" Now that we've expressed the feeling of most upright surfers, we are free to discuss bodyboarding. There is no easier way to engage in surfing (i.e. the sport of riding the crests...
