I can be your long lost pal...

About Me

Whatup my peeps, my name is Al... my full name is Alexander Jimenez, but you can just call me Al. I'm just here to have as much fun as I can possibly can. Life is too short to worry about the stupid stuff... and there's alot of stupid stuff happening in the world right now...

Been working in Bay Area theatre & music for about 20 years now, the latter part of that as a sound designer & engineer. I’m also a musician/singer/songwriter in a band called fLIPSIDE, currently on touring hiatus, but working on our debut CD, popculturesmoothie.

Currently I'm working as sound designer for Choker Films .

We are an independent film company based in Vacaville, CA, and are currently in production on a STAR WARS fanfilm called Resurrection, set for a Winter 2008 release. I'm REALLY stoked! It's going to ROCK... and will be premiering some time in December on the BIG SCREEN! I can't wait for y'all to see it.

You can see how the film is coming along by going to the official website, StarWarsResurrection.com . You can also check out our YouTube channel, ResurrectBane .

I can't begin to tell you how GOOD this movie is going to be, my friends! And I'm speaking as a Star Wars fan and film lover in general. It really is going to be a GOOD film. STAY TUNED 'cause BIG things are comin' this way!



It's COOL and REFRESHING. It's SITH LAGER.


My Interests

Family, Friends, People, Music, Theatre, Film, Biking (of the pedal kind), Golf, Cats, Women, Smokin' tha herb, Oakland, San Francisco and the Bay Area!

I'd like to meet:

People.



Music:

I play guitar, bass, drums, and vox... and have an eclectic taste in music... from the most popular to the most obscure, I listen to it all.

I'm in a band called fLIPSIDE... we had a MySpace page at some point, but it was deleted for no apparent reason... after several inquiries and no replies, I let it be. Been too busy/lazy/etc. to start a new one, but the page will definitely return SOON. We are in the process of recording our debut album, and once that is close to being released you'll see alot more of us!

Listen to the MIM Podcast of Hangin' With Mobility featuring fLIPSIDE and Justin James.


Movies:

I'm a Star Wars freak. And a Middle Earth freak. David Cronenberg, Kevin Smith, Stanley Kubrick, Ridley Scott, and John Carpenter for bodies of work. Favorite movies of all time (excuding SW and LOTR) include Fandango, City of Lost Children, The Magnificent Seven, Dogma, Fucking Amal, Almost Famous, The Breakfast Club, Pan's Labyrinth, Logan's Run, Donnie Darko, Batman Begins, and Sunshine. Actors I dig include Johnny Depp, Jeremy Irons, Joey Lauren Adams, Christian Bale, Renee Zellweger, Helen Mirren, Christopher Eccleston, Ellen Page, and Zooey Deschanel... Damn, I think Zooey's awesome! I loved her in Eulogy...

Television:


The greatest television show of all time.

Books:

I read alot. I have many books. I used to subscribe to 20 or so magazines and newspapers and read them all religiously. I love soaking up info. I friggin' love the internet. There's so much information out there. Yah I'm a geek.
