About Me

"I have an intense passion for the basic elements of the creative force, and film seems so natural once you enter into that realization. Cinema has such a mystique... you cannot explain it away. All you can do is paint...As a creator of dreams and ideas, I am also inspired and encouraged by those who do the same. My colleagues constantly remind me, that the World is only a small place in comparison to the Universal Expanse of thought and imagination. United, we are strengthened by our commitment to the gift of bringing shadows into the light. As filmmakers, we are the wizards of our time!I see the art of cinema in a nostalgic sense, and as a liberated artist. There are no boundaries to the individual expression, and every creation is the legacy of its creator. I have always fought for and have supported this, despite the limited perceptions of critics and peers alike. Individual thought must live and breathe naturally, and without conformist manipulation. With my films, I paint with celluloid brushstrokes upon a flickering canvas. The art must flow despite its acceptance or lack thereof.We are not here to celebrate the bourgeois perceptions of art. We are committed to the filmmakers, and the artists. Our dreams are laid open... thousands upon thousands, into millions of individual monuments, standing skyward. We present to you the spectacle of wizardry found only in the orchestration of flickering light. We are the Creators. We are the dreamers."

Another Episode in Observations of Human Behaviour.
