About Me

I am 100% HUMAN and proud. I'm many things to different people, I'm seen under many lights. (even blacklight) I am a true JACK of ALL trades, and a master of some. This may sound egotistical, But screw that, I've ALWAYS fearless embraced change. I started out as an artist (sketching, NUDES...portraits and painting, comic book art), but I have evolved into a CREATOR of stories, my real passion is the human condition, drama, psychology. I'm from Miami. I'm Cuban-American, which doesn't mean I am a communist or a coke dealer...damn stereotypes. I am a writer-director, mostly horror and comedies, albeit I have dramas and thrillers. Here is a little rundown of the projects I've worked on in a significant way... Vampire Cheerleaders Must Die, How to Make It in Film/ Television, How to make it As An Actor, Director's Cut, a short, and a few sketch comedy skits...

I love movies, art and music. I can have fun anywhere, anytime ;) and often do...love doing new and exciting stuff, daring the edge of life... love stand-up comedy, Improv too.

My Interests

The birds and the bees have always fascinated me, eatable underwear calls my attention...screenwriting, acting, film making, drawing, role-playing, strategy games, music, ghosts, the esoteric, theatre, camping...being RANDOM and enjoying art in all its forms.

This series is FANTASTIC, and from a fellow Cuban in Miami, watch it, the entire series is free on youtube. WHAT TALENT!

I'd like to meet:

EVERYONE IN THE WORLD....but at least really creative people, people with vision and a passion. Anyone with the urge to express themselves and be unique.

I have an open door friend policy, if you are an artist and don't completely take over my page with your ads, i will tolerate your buletins.

If I dont know you, I will let you in so you can be a target for my short film and project advertising..deal? ok.
