About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4I direct, shoot and score feature films, play and produce music, play drums in recording projects and edit stuff. If I had Mark Cuban's bank account, I'd go skiing every weekend, travel every inch of the world and make many more films and albums. I drink lots of coffee. I enjoy a drink every once in a while...or a couple of drinks every so often. I also like taking photos and going to fry's right before they close. My niece Sofi, is my favorite thing in the world. And now, I have two new joys in my life...my new neice Bella and my new nephew Mark David Litzinger, named after yours truly. I own a Post Production (editing/sound) facility in West Hollywood that is my little "Mecca"- Jam Picture & Sound. I just started my new productiion company, Buffalo Speedway film co. named after the street I grew up on. We are in Pre- Production on my third feature as a Director, AMERICAN COWSLIP.

My Interests

Lots of stuff, anything new. making Films & Music. Traveling, meeting new people-blah blah blah.

I'd like to meet:

People who sleep more than me.www.markdavidfilms.com www.americancowslip.com
Cool Slideshows

Music:

Zero 7. I'm at that age where I think most new bands suck and can't play their instruments. All time favorites would have to be The Cult, Soundgarden, U2, Dead Can Dance, PJ Harvey, Van Halen, NIN, Astor Piazzola, Led Zeppelin, Def Leppard, Audioslave, AC/DC, The Cure, Nirvana, Pearl Jam,Tori Amos, KISS, recently the Beatles, Eminem. Hate 50 cent. like Seal. I like old stuff. Basically, if it's less than 10 years old- it usually sucks. except for the Foo Fighters, that's some rock n' roll! Beastie Boys. I play in a few projects that I think are great. Danzig, The Police, Jeff Buckley, Journey, Kravitz, P.I.L. The Smiths, The Crickets.

Movies:

My all times favs are The Untouchables, Scarface, Donnie Brasco, Jacob's Ladder, Angel Heart, Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, Lolita, The Shining, The Unforgiven and Fight Club. The Outlaw Josey Wales, Catch Me If You Can, The Departed was genius- every Scorsese film is a favorite of mine- Raging Bull, Mean Steeets, Taxi Driver...all of em'. I pretty much like every movie for some reason or another.

Television:

24.....best show on fuckin' TV. I would rather watch reruns of Macgyver or the A team than most TV shows these days. Hate reality TV. Think it's the worst thing ever.

Books:

I read all kinds of stuff, mostly American Cinematographer. Time magazine - cause my dad told me to, when I was a kid.

Heroes:

My Mom & Dad. People with big hearts. People who are courageous. People who are honest with others and themselves. People who aren't selfish.... or shellfish, for that matter. People that aren't full of shit. Lot of those types here in lala land.

Peter Falk is not crazy

He's 80. You should get to do whatever the fuck you want at his age. I made American Cowslip with him and he was amazing. He's just older than you! So, contrary to the BS on the gossip pages of late, ...

my thoughts for today

Forrest Gump was wrong. Life is not like a box of chocolates....it's much cooler than that. It's like a box of crispy pistachio cookies!
