A king-bitch dog-fucker of an idea!!

About Me

My life seems to revolve around two things, family and my art. I’m a bit all-over-the-place when it comes to my art. At the heart of it all I would say I would be best described as a story teller. My main focus is writing and directing films. As a filmmaker I can communicate to the largest audience using the most versatile and complete form of art. I also really enjoy music, but not so much the music business. Rock & Metal has always been a second love to me. I've been fortunate enough to have played in some pretty cool bands in my life and at some pretty cool venues.Illustration was the form of art I got into first. All my childhood and teenage years I was drawing. While in high school I took summer college courses at The Art Institute of Chicago and Eastern Illinois University. I went to Columbia College Chicago and got into writing and directing even more and eventually phased out illustration.Since graduating from Columbia I’ve worked on dozens of short films and a few features working in all kinds of departments. I have been pushing two of my own feature scripts “Dead Reign” and “Murder Girls”. I’m currently looking for a producer and/or investors for those projects. I am also in post production on a new short film entitled “Hellcat and Tala”. due out at the end of this year. Thank you for supporting.

My Interests

Art. Movies. Music. Sports. Life.

I'd like to meet:

Other artists and filmmakers...and my very first writing inspiration...Stan Lee.

Music:

You name it. These days I'm digging on a lot of different things but my favorite music is still...all things ROCK.

Movies:

I love ALL types of movies. Horror movies, cult films, 70's flicks, Foreign Films, Superhero cartoons, especially from the 60's, 70's and 80's. I love directors like Peter Jackson, Sam Raimi, Stanley Kubrick, Tim Burton, Rob Zombie, Larry Clark, Old Wes Craven, but also the likes of Rodriguez, Tarantino, Spielberg, Linklater, Gilliam, Carpenter and Scorsese. Comedies by the Farley Bros, John Hughes, Harold Ramis, and Ivan Reitman. I also love the masters like Hitchcock, Welles, and Wilder. Old Universal monster movies, Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney, Boris Karlof, 50's horror films with giant bugs or rubber alien suits. Kung Fu movies. Bruce Lee. Jackie Chan. 70's horror. Too much, so look at some cool posters...

Television:

I prefer movies but I do enjoy...Simpson’s, Sportscenter, The Office, & Entourage. Some of my favorite shows currently not on were Freaks and Geeks, The Wonder Years, and Seinfeld. Still wishing Deadwood or the Sopranos would come back on. Okay at least give me Deadwood. UFC, the History Channel, E True Hollwood Stories, Mindfreak, 80’s Cartoons, Ex: Transformers, GI Joe. Lately I’ve been watching House to see if he "get’s pushed over the edge?!". But really it’s only thanks to a DVR that I get to watch anything at all.

Books:

I used to read Comic books, but my collecting got out of hand so I cut myself off years ago, lately I have been reading autobiographies, books on film and art. I also like magazines, horror and fantasy novels.

Heroes:

What like superhero's?
