About Me

I'm a film director who continues in pursuit of his dream at all costs. Check out www.tentilnoon.com for my latest bit of mischief. It's just about 11 years since I fled the east coast and arrived here, in search of the aforementioned dream of being a professional filmmaker. Needless to say, I was rudely awakened in many respects, but here I remain without regret. This town can chew you up and spit you out. The people here are both brilliant and reprehensible. But dammit, I love the movies. To me there is no greater passion in the world. Some of my friends are extremely successful in their own right, and I wrestle daily with both pride and envy. My day job keeps me very much involved in the film industry and the sneaky, clandestine ways in which people SELL their movies to the public. It's been quite an education, but I prefer to spend my time behind the camera, shooting what kicks around in my head, and shutting myself into my favorite dark place (The editing room) and working magic. There is simply nothing like it.The latest film I directed had a small theatrical release this past March and is now available on DVD HERE , and will be on TARGET and BEST BUY shelves and in NETFLIX queues across the country! Just below is our new DVD box art, along with the theatrical trailer. We hope you all get a chance to check it out!Got a few minutes? Then please take them to check out this segment of DVDuesday, hosted by mega-talented indie guru Chris Gore!!!! Patience. We are the third film reviewed. Best for last never looked so good!

My Interests

Filmmaking, hiking, the east coast, medieval history and recreation, music, movies, great dive bars and 30 year old Scotch.

I'd like to meet:

I am the proud father of two wonderful children, a son and a daughter. Both are very talented people and I wish I could spend more time with them. Their living on the east coast doesn't help matters, but there it is. I am engaged since last November to the most incredible woman on earth. Just check out number one on my friends list and you'll see what I mean. NOW...MySpace, for me...is all about NETWORKING. Having said that, if you friend request me, you PLEDGE to be an actual person, write when written to, and make the occasional attempt to communicate. I don't want to be a number on your page and I REALLY don't want to take part in any surveys. I don't have the time. But if you'd like to be sincere and up front and friendly, then by all means, click that FRIEND button. Otherwise, please go solicit someone else.
