About Me

Hello. Ni hao. Dia dhuit. Bonjour. Saleem. O-Si-yo. Welina. Ciao. Namaste. Friends call me Randino. I’m a Tony nominated producer, award winning writer and director and have been working in the entertainment industry since age 12. I'm very proud to be a part of this astounding biz and entertainment community... it's my family. I’ve worked with and learned from some incredible teachers and mentors. I’ve also helmed many remarkable projects and created entertainment enjoyed by millions. It’s been an extraordinary journey and now I’m on a path to pay it all forward – I subscribe to the belief that “there is enough for everyone.” I’m partnered on a new venture determined to bring back to our industry: unfiltered and uncompromised creativity, FUN (where’d the FUN go??????) and last (but certainly not least) r.e.s.p.e.c.t.!

My Interests

ASSORTED: Peace. Also theatre, music, art, history, writing, exploring, traveling, conversation with interesting people, teaching, learning, food & cooking, wine, comic books. A huge fan of root beer, chocolate and sandwiches. Very grateful for my friends, family, creativity and prosperity.

I'd like to meet:

I'm fascinated by the cyber-community Tom has created here on myspace. It's an amazing way to meet new and interesting people. It's a place to connect & reconnect, network and discover clever individuals, groups, companies, et all. The variety of friends is endless so each and every week I’ve been changing my top friends list. I'm always up for welcoming additional persons into the Randino fold. I'm really interested in meeting & networking with other creatives and craftmasters: writers, film makers, designers, dancers, vocalists, musicians, editors, photographers, actors, directors, artists, producers, grips, PA's, managers, casting and talent agents, costume designers - builders and wearers, TD's, make-up artists, promoters, historians, web creatives and technology masters, thespians, comedians, buskers, specialty performers, circus folk, famous, infamous, almost there, retired, curious...down to earth or not-of-this-world, as long as you walk your talk and intentionally harm no other in what you offer, say and do - Randino's myspace is a haven and sanctuary just for you. Welcome."Fame in the rights hands can do wonderous things!" R. Borden
