Looking for a good friend!

About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 Single black man residing in Southfield. My profession is in the Computer Technology field but my heart and love is in screenwriting/filmmaking. I'm currently shooting a movie (that I wrote) in the Detroit area and if you'd like to know more about it click on the link http://www.geocities.com/videorod/ or since the link isn't working just copy/paste it into your browser. Recently I have uploaded a trailer for you to watch of the movie. Hopefully I can meet some interesting people on this site. Until then, peace...Shadow under the blue moon ..

I love Elmore Leonard's books and movies, also have read some of Zane's books, looking for Michael Baisden's books. Read a lot of Syd Field's books.
