Flatland has just been featured on the front page of scifi.com with an "A" review! click here for Scifi.com review . It also got a RARE 5 out of 5 stars from Film Threat !

I'm here to make friends and promote my film Flatland . It's a 3D animated feature-length adaptation of the scifi novel by Edwin A Abbott.
I'd like to hear from you! Comments, suggestions, critiques, questions, random thoughts and humor. I try to respond to everyone. And if you're from New Orleans or Old Metairie, send me a shout - I miss my town.
And by the way, please consider purchasing a Flatland DVD and T-Shirt here: www.flatlandthefilm.com .
And finally, if you want to help me promote my film (and isn't that just what mySpace needs, more promotion?) feel free to copy and paste this HTML code into a bulletin - it would really help:
Please take a look at my friend Film Ladd's feature-length animated movie Flatland ! He has a Special Collector's Limited Edition DVD, signed and personally numbered, now available at www.flatlandthefilm.com

My Interests

I'd rather smoke a cigar in a quiet lounge, enjoying good cognac and intelligent conversation, than put up with the deafening idiocy of a dance club surrounded by a bunch of morons shouting bromides in my ears. Actually I'd rather read a good book than either.

I'd like to meet:

Other filmmakers, artists, 3D/CG people. Clients. Friends. Creatives... intelligent people. I do add a great deal of people, but I will personally answer any messages if you send one to me. I'm in Huntsville, AL, these days, but I'm also originally from New Orleans, LA, so if you're from my old stomping grounds or my new, please drop me a line.

Movies:

All of the good ones, none of the roller coasters.

Books:

Phillip K. Dick, Stanislaus Lem, Vladimir Nabokov, Tom Whalen

Heroes:

Francois Truffaut; Alfred Hitchcock; Sam Peckinpah; Orson Welles; John Ford, Etc.
