About Me
Why tolerate the mundane when you can innovate the extraordinary?
Creative, original, risk-taking writer/director looking to develop mutually beneficial working relationships with like-minded, motivated and fearless individuals (both talent and crew) on multiple projects.
In addition to the collaborative projects I have in development, I've also written several original feature-length screenplays, most of which are available for consideration, and all of which lend themselves to the precept that dreams should never be compromised, imagination cannot be contained by boundaries, and audiences are far more intelligent than the suits would have them believe.
Here's hoping you have the same vision.

EXTINGUISH is the short experimental film that resulted from my spontaneous involvement in the Detroit Filmmakers Coalition 1997 Super-8 Saturday event. Under the event's mandate of a strict twenty-four hour limit in which to complete the project, EXTINGUISH was edited entirely in-camera on Super-8mm film; no rehearsal, no dailies, and no second takes. The impromptu shoot took place in the suitably gloomy basement of the now-defunct Ascension UK, a magnificent (and sorely missed) coffeehouse/meeting place for Detroit's darker set.
EXTINGUISH features the screen debut of Emileigh Rohn, alpha-component of her one-woman Detroit electronica music project CHIASM, as the solitary character in the film's dark little world, and her remarkable improvisation of the subject matter carries the project brilliantly.
The first and only viewing of EXTINGUISH prior to its appearance here was at the DFC Super-8 Saturday Film Festival in 1997, where it was met with stunned silence and muffled gasps. To say we were "overly delighted" with the reaction would be an understatement.
Ten years and two digital transfers later, it's my sincere pleasure to finally be able to share it with you now. With the exception of the beginning and end titles, EXTINGUISH is presented here exactly as it was filmed, unedited and uncut.
And to Bob of the 1997 Detroit Filmmakers Coalition, thank for your kind compliment that fateful night. I'm happy to report that my life hasn't been the same since.
