About Me

I live in Los Angeles. I'm the manager of the American Cinemetheque's Egyptian Theatre, where we show a selection of reperatory films and some new ones, too! I'm the writer and/ or director for several low-budget horror and martial arts films. I made a movie called Prometheus Triumphant that no one has ever seen, and have also mad a few short horror films, too. yup... it's pretty much all about the movies (ergo, the whole L.A. thing)...i dig:Monkeys, pirates, skeletons, pirates fighting skeletons, old stone buildings that are running to ruin and covered in moss, narrow streets, nighttime, old friends, smart girls, monster movies, hats, eating sushi at sunset on the roof of the theatre, the beach, good beer, good red wine, drinking these things with aforementioned old friends, old comic books, drawing and painting and writing, watching and making movies...This profile was edited with Thomas' myspace editor™ V2.5 ...
