About Me

Filmmaker. I started making films when I was a kid with 8mm and Super 8 film Cameras. I didn't learn film making from any school or books. It's all been trial and error. You also need to watch a lot of movies. The classic hollywood movies have the best elements. This type of dialog, acting and simple camera angles are what I think about when I am making my films. My advice to beginning hollywood actors is to be more professional. Show up on time and perform your dialog. Don't tell the Director how you think it should be. Trust the process. The Director has a vision and it may be something that has never been done before. Don't talk about the project on the internet until it is finished. Watch a lot of movies and TV shows and try to understand what good acting is. Stay in character until the Director says cut. To become an actor, get out and act. It doesn't matter if it's a small play or if you are playing a character at a kids birthday party.What do I think about High Definition? Well, if people wanted to see high definition, then youtube's low resolution videos wouldn't be so popular.I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
