My daughter; making movies; watching movies; editing movies; writing movies; besides my daughter and movies, my next great passion is music. In a former life, I was a music supervisor on feature films... one of my most favorite parts of making my own films is choosing what songs go where in the story.
Other filmmakers, writers, actors, and alcoholics such as myself. Here's a life tip -- Always hang out with people smarter than you. It's easy to be the King of Idiots, ruler of all you survey, but you'll get so much more from being friends with people that you know can mentally crush you... All of my friends are geniuses compared to me and I treasure all that I learn from them (even if they don't believe they're that smart...)Here's the video for one of my short films - "BlondeStar - My Name is Don"Here's the 2nd installment in the BlondeStar franchise - BlondeStar 2 - "I Need Directions":
