I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I FIRST JUST WANT TO SAY I ONLY ACCEPT COMMENTS NOT EMAILS, UNLESS YOU ARE A PERSONAL FRIEND. IF YOU SEND AN EMAIL AND NOT A COMMENT, I WILL NOT RESPOND. THANKS TO ALL THAT KEEP US IN YOUR PRAYERS AND SUPPORT.I am a filmmaker and a public speaker. I speak all over the country and go out of town 3 or 4 times a month. I share an amazing story that I am privileged to share and see it make an impact. My passion is filmmaking. I want to tell stories the inspire people and lift them up to a place they want to make better decisions. My goal is to produce major motion pictures. I am very close with my family – they are the best! I have a deep faith and relationship with God – but I’m not religious, I consider myself spiritual. And sometimes, I don’t follow all the rules! I love to dance! Take me to a dance floor and I’ll you show some moves! I’m a homeowner, but plan eventually to move to CA.The program I speak for is Rachel's Challenge - the largest middle & high school assembly program in the country (www.racheslchallenge.com). I am a board director for an organization that helps screenwriters called the American Screenwriter's Association (www.goasa.com). I've worked on 3 major motion pictures - "The Missing", "End of the Spear", and "The Seeker." I have a production company called Xavion Productions. I have written, produced, and directed several short films, a documentary, and several videos for non-profit organizations. I studied film with an emphasis in producing at Colorado Film School.~~DREAM~~ ~Dream of a film~ ~A story of depth~ ~Something worth taking~ ~Ups, down - emotions felt~ ~To reach a destination~ ~But only you can decide~ ~Half traveling the journey~ ~Half enjoying a ride~ ~If you are willing~ ~To take my hand~ ~Challenge, shake, and inspire~ ~Is included in the plan~ ~But something unscripted~ ~A kind of chain reaction~ ~Sparked in you~ ~A definite call to action~ ~Your dream will then survive~ ~Your values come alive~ ~There's work to be done~ ~In you it's begun~ ~So come see my movie~ ~A story I'll conceive~ ~My goals be fulfilled~ ~And again you'll believe~ A Poem by Craig X. Scott

My Interests

I have interests in acting, producing, and directing. But most of all, finding the story to tell (producing). I'm interested in effective leadership training - through books and exposing myself to other leaders. I love dancing, strategy board games (especially chess with Todd & Catan with my family!), golf, watching a good movie, reading a good fable, fantasy or other fiction book, picnics, camping, and dating. I journal at least once a week. I'm interested in writing a book one day.

I'd like to meet:

People interested in making inspiratiional films. I'd like to meet Morgan Freeman, Mel Gibson, Bono from U2, Leonardo DiCaprio, and spend more time with Phil & Christian Anschutz and Foster Friess. I want to meet "movers and shakers", because one day, I'd like to be one."Like iron sharpens irons" - I want more friends that inspire and challenge me in right living and are fun to be around.

Music:

I love music! My favorite genres are pop, rock, acoustic, instrumental, hiphop, and country. My favorite song is Bittersweet Symphony by the Verve. Here's some other favorites: "One Headlight", "Book of Love", "Missing Person", "Helena", "Life is a Highway", "Free Falling", "Stand by Me", "Rocket Man", "Damn, Feels Good to be a Gangsta", "Living on a Prayer," "Friends & Family"
