About Me
We met at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where we both majored in avoidance. Upon meeting, we realized the time for looking away was over and the new era of kick ass collaboration was underway. We did a play. Zoo Story. First successful, satisfying and aggravating collaborative piece 'art' either of us could remember. Onward! From there we began STRAIGHTMAN. Didn't know what form it would take but we'd do it our way any way we could. Check the webbery here http://www.benzfilm.com/ for the real skinny on our docs that followed and the wonder of POLISH BAR that is to be.
In Los Angeles now, oddly enough, happy and freaked out. Ready and willing for more. Hungry eyes, ears and hearts; we want more and we're gonna fucking take it. More movies, more 'films', more free shit, more scripts, more buddies, more imaginary lovers, more desayunos from La Chispa de Oro [Boyle Heights, stand up!], more traffic, more co-conspirators, more obstacles, more coffee, more vision, more colors, more light, more heat, more energy, more shadows, more gallows, more music, more pets, more consequences, more moving violations, more festivals, more accolades, more chocolate, more reps, more pushups, more pushpops, more UFOs and more love (in whatever form it may manifest itself).
