About Me

DEMO REEL..
SEE THE CARNIVAL OF THE DAMNED TRAILER!!!

My Interests

movies. watching them, discussing them, making them. I go to the movies almost everyday-yes the theater, I get into most of them free because of filmmaker invites and my GF is a theater manager-lucky me. I SEE EVERYTHING! Years of working at videostores helps. Also everyday I am rocking the DVD player and cable-its sort of like a drug addiction huh!? I am into surfing, reading (mostly film books and mags), EL lightsaber dueling (and I am really good believe that). I am into "kicking back" with friends and discussing any of the above things. I COLLECT 16mm FEATURES and TRAILERS!

I'd like to meet:

Other filmmakers in the Los Angeles area that wish to make friends and network, maybe watch each others films, or just kick back, smoke out, talk.
