I am here for Networking

About Me

I am a fiercely independent filmmaker living in Las Vegas, Nevada. My first feature-length film--the horror film Rose of Death (formerly known as Rose)--has recently been picked up for distribution by Maxim Media Int'l./Brain Damage Films. And my second feature-length film--the absurdist mockumentary Killed by George Clooney's Snot --is currently in post-production and will hopefully hit the festival circuit sometime in 2008. (And, yes, the movie is just as absurd as the title.) And we are currently at work on a sci-fi/action film entitled Eve of Vaden , which we're also planning to take on the festival circuit in 2008. You can check out more about these films at www.bizzlejig.com .
