Lets make a little history baby

About Me

A filmmaker. An Artist. A man looking for the future. An Outlaw in a time when all artistic endevours come with a price tag. A loner. A person in a world of ghosts. I believe that success is only found through hard, honest work. I'm the creator of several very serious horror films including THE MUTILATION MAN, BLACK SUN, and THE ATROCITY CIRCLE. I'm also a visual artist, look in my pics section for a sample of my work.Finally here is my Epic short film NEPHEW OF SHAFT!!! In four parts, I did this movie for DATV as part of a celebration fo the Vounteers there, so each scene was part of the awards ceremony. This is the final cut together version. This is also my love letter/homage to the Blaxsploitation films that I grew up loving...Hope you enjoyed this as much as I did making it!!!!!!

My Interests

Filmmaking, art, and the betterment of mankind. Its not like I am askng for much is it?

Movies:

Top ten in no particular order: EL TOPO (1970), PERFORMANCE (1970), PINK FLOYD THE WALL (1981), FIGHT CLUB (1999), NATURAL BORN KILLERS (1994), THE CROW (1994), BRING ME THE HEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA (1974), THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (1974), STRANGE BREW (1983), DOLEMITE (1975)LAST HOUSE ON DEAD END STREET (1973/77)Some other favorites: HARDWAREDUST DEVILTHE WILD BUNCHI SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE

Television:

Don't watch TV. I tend to find shows several decades after they aired. I LOVED the show MILLENIUM, in fact I would say that is my favorite show. When I had cable I was addicted to the Crime detective type shows. Hell I just discovered THE SHEILD!One of the best moments of TV on THE SHEILD...

Books:

I read WAY too much. There is never a time when a book is not perched next to my bed. AMOK FOURTH DISPATCH, THE PSYCHOTRONIC FILM GUIDE is a constant source. APOCALYPSE CULTURE, THE DISINFORMATION INTERVIEWS, 45 DANGEROUS MINDS...anything counter culture, film or art related sit next to my bed. Too many people don't understand the joy of reading these days. How sad...

Heroes:

True Iconoclasts. People like ALEXANDRO JODOROWSKY, GENESIS P. ORRIDGE, RICHARD METZGER & Douglass Rushkoff. Filmmakers like Donald Cammell and Sam Peckinpah. People who think so far outside the box that we have to use geometry to figure out just what the shape they think in is. People who can understand what being alone feels like.
