Knight Errant

Here is the latest short film I did with Blue Damen Productions and John Meadows.
This music video is called Predicament. It was filmed by John Meadows and myself in late summer and early fall of 2007. The Artist is Lee DeWyze (Myspace Page) who is signed with Wuli Records which is located here in Chicago. Visit Lee's web page at www.leedewyze.com
This is The Music Video Mercy for the band "The Backyard" also with Wuli Records We filmed it in December of 2007. There was a huge blizzard the weekend of the shooting which caused logistical problems and delays in people getting there on time.
Jumping across the musical spectrum, This is "Aphrodesiac" Performed by Worm . Once again shot with John Meadows .
It has occured to me lately that my myspace page is rather chaotic and unthematic. It is quite varied and random. I think that is a reflection of my personality however. I have many interests, and I am multi faceted. To know me is to know more than what is on the surface. I think this is somewhat the result of my disorganized page.
About me. Hrmmm What to put down here. I am definately more than meets the eye. Multifaceted I suppose you could say. I prefer to think of myself as a diamond in the rough ;)
Many have called me a writer, although its something I only do for me. If I have something I need to sort out and purge from my system I write about it. I often write in the abstract or blend different subjects so it makes it difficult for those who are not me to really understand what im trying to say. However I find often others can bring their own meaning out of it so thats cool.
my artisitc forays delve also into the cinema of wich I am passionate about. I love movies. I'm one of those people who watches a movie with the directors commentary on. I have made several short films none of wich anyone would have seen. However I am also working on some independent projects that some day may grace the light of at least television. Its a dream I peck away at and hope some day to make my film opus and hope people like it. In the mean time im filming some fun campy stuff with some friends. Its a hoot. Definately not anything artsy or intellectual. If you like fart jokes and that sort of thing you would love the skit we did last year ;)
This brings me to my next facet. Humour. I can laugh at anything. furthermore I can find something funny in most things. I guess im kind of extremist that way. When I am not all absorbed in some deep philosophical thought on something (wich can scare people some times) I am cracking wise at the silliest of things. I am always laughing, and tend to make those around me laugh too. Its good stress relief. Then again so is sex but laughter is easier to come by sometimes ;) and you don't always need a partner for that. Then again... ummmm never mind.
Well this has to be said. I am a history buff. Actually to be more accurate I am a story buff, and I think all the good stories are in history. It is chock full of them. But I also am a believer in the adage those who fail to learn the lessons of history are condemned to repeat them. There is alot of repeating going on today.
I am worldly. I have travelled to Europe and hope to travel to Asia some day. I am fluent in French. I spent a year between highschool and college crewing on my Grandfathers Yacht. He would take people on week long cruises in the caribbean in the winter and the cape in the summer. I met tons of people on there. Most of whom I have forgotten. The only one who I remember is Jimmy Buffet who was on there for a week. I didn't know who he was at the time but he was a great guy and lots of fun. I was 18 at the time when I met him. I have also Met Several Buddhist Monks. Some of the most highest ranking in the religion. One of them is the teacher to the Dali Lama. They stayed at my parents house for a week. One of them even slept in my old bedroom. I got a huge kick out of this. Imagine this really holy man sleeping in my bed. I know what went on in that bed ;) It cracks me up. how this came to be is a really long story so don't ask unless your ready to spend some time.
I am a twin. I have a twin sister named Sarah. She is braindamaged from a stroke she had when she was 10 months old. She has a rare disease called Urea Cyclic Disorder. long story short her body doesn't produce enough of an amino acid that is used to break down the amonia-protien strain. So every time she eats meat she is basically poisoning herself. Her body could not process the protien she had consumed so it stored what it could in her body fat. By the time she was 10 months old the toxins in her body were too high and she had a stroke causing permanent damage to her brain. She is alive and as well as can be living with my Parents.
