About Me

I am a filmmaker living in Houston, Texas. My film companies are Fire Pig Productions (check it out in My Friends) and Moonlite Filmwerks. We are currently in post-production on our first feature length film and most ambitious project to date titled "BACKROAD". Check out the BACKROAD MySpace page under our Friend Space below and please add it to your MySpace friends.
We just picked up three awards in the 2009 Houston 48 Hour Film Project for our short film "Pursuit". In late 2008 we completed "TOAST", a student film project written and directed by Arielle Slaten.
I have a background in art and interior design. I am in to architecture, high end audio, collecting mid 20th century modern art and furniture. I am always interested in anything related to English bulldogs, Mini Coopers, and modern art (meeting artists or collectors).
This is the trailer for my new film BACKROAD:
