About Me

James Boyd - Writer-Director, Producer, Editor of indie films ( "Inside The Monitor" & "The New Gods," "Half-Life" as "Co-Executive Producer"), and founder and Festival Director of the Nodance Film Festival (Nodance.com) in Park City, Utah. Nodance was the world's first DVD-projected film festival, and it was eventually acquired by actor-director Forest Whitaker.

I have since gone back to writing and directing, and I'm currently developing feature film and TV projects through my indie company, 6161 Entertainment, while trying to see the ocean at least once a day. I'm also working to bring 6161 short-form content to mobiles and ipods.

I'm learning Gracie jiu-jitsu. Worship chocolate. Text-book Taurus. HERMOD. Stavanger. Wednesday night workouts. Weekends in Vegas. Maui is Nirvana. Hope, love, laughter, life. 23. Without cinema, this world would be unbearable.

My Interests

Having one original idea in my lifetime

I'd like to meet:


Building a network of unique and creative individuals: the mad, the fun, the wacky, the real, the bright, the shy, the sexy, the hollow, the self-promoting, the clueless, the talented, the saviours, the wicked, and the damned. All are welcome in the factory.

Music:

Commercial alt rock / NIN for the head - Pearl Jam for the heart - Vines - Strokes - White Stripes - Radiohead - Nirvana - Jane's Addiction - U2 - Yeah Yeah Yeahs - The Fighters Foo - Arctic Monkeys - Wolfmother - Dandys - Coldplay - Remoter - Indie rock - The Doors and all things Morrison - Beatles and all things Lennon - 80s SoCal punk - Kelly Clarkson - Willie Nelson - Prince - Electronica (Crystal Method, Chemie Bros) - Hip-Hop - Blues (BB) - Classical (God listens to Mozart) ---

My ipod library is vast, man

SAVE TRESTLES Myspace

This is an entertainment-related site, and I will not/cannot accept any unsolicited projects or pitches via myspace. Thanks for understanding.

Television:

"Kill your TV" slogans interrupted by Tivo. Some good TV, but you have to find it. The Office, any Sunday night HBO show (Sops, Deadwood, Rome, Extras, Flight of The Conchords, Ali G), Simpsons, SNL, Ultimate Fighter (Spike TV), UFC, CNN, History Chn, Discovery Chn ("Shark Week"), MTV (Real World, Boiling Points), The Office/BBC, Dog The Bounty Hunter, Jim Cramer, Fast Money, Youtube, NFL (Cowboys), NBA (Lakers).

Books:

"On The Road" by Jack Kerouac - I know everyone says this, but I actually finished the book (along with Kerouac others). "On the Road", "Dharma Bums", and "Big Sur" changed the way I live in the world. Hunter S. Thompson. William Blake. Aldous Huxley. Stephen King. All Carl Sagan as brain food--Sagan makes you see yourself in the universe, with a very compelling and straight-forward syntax (i.e. he explains it to you and me). I try to read as much political non-fiction, as possible, in between bouts of nausea while watching CNN. Blue states own.

Heroes:

JFK, RFK, MLK (cliche, but all so important). John Lennon, Kurt Cobain, Carl Sagan, Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, the dude that stopped the tank in Tiananmen Square, Homer Simpson, anyone that makes a film, my Pops
