Hello All,
Looking forward to meeting some of you. Here's an excessively specific describer of why I've joined. Bio at the bottom, thanks!
Through the use of a Youtube channel, research, screenwriting, shooting shorts, networking with you and exploiting relationships from my previous life in the business, my goal is to develop a neo-western limited series. The project will be a thriller - taught, surreal and fast, but analog in feel and modestly budgeted. This will not be a CG fantasy ----> we do this old-skool. If you think "The Joker" meets "Bad Day at Black Rock" would be a tasty cocktail, then you get me.
I am looking for creative collaboration in writing, cinematography, design, history, producing and distribution. The truth is, I have a vision and a plan, and I'm doing this to have fun. So if you get this project and it fits you - please connect and lets see what develops!
My Bio:
I went to CalArts for acting and then film school. I then worked in the business for about 10 years in the 90's (Knot's Landing, Permut Presentations a host of commercial and music video production companies and my own production company, Defiant Films.) I also spent 2 years as a sub-agent in the feature literary department at APA. During my time in the business I made all kinds of stuff and produced two independent features (The Godson starring Rodney Dangerfield and Ivory Tower starring Kari Wuhrer.) In 1998 I left the business and moved to Santa Barbara to raise a family. Now the family is grown and the movie business has changed so radically that I realize It has never been easier to get work distributed (if it's good of course.) So I 'm back to it, this time on my own terms, a bit wiser, more creatively mature and a bit better funded. I am a storyteller at heart and have a plan. Happy to be here.
