I enjoy making films. I want to make films my entire life. One of the great things about film school was just going out and making something for the joy of it. I forget that often now that I'm in the "real" world. So I want to get back to a place where I can just expereince the creative process through filmmaking just for the joy of it, without expectations. More >
Acting just makes me feel great. The first time I was ever REALLY in theatre was when I played 'Fern' from Charlotte's Web in a play. It made me feel, amazing. That I was a part of a team and they thought I was worthy of the part. That I was on stage, putting on a show for others to enjoy. More >
I have been writing professionally for the past 15 years all totaled. Juggling screenwriting and book writing which are polar opposites --- screenwriting is minimalism, book writing is exposition for everything.
About 4 years back, I had an idea for a high-concept musical comedy that I thought would make a hilarious film. That project now has a name: SPELLBOUND. More >
I remember when this dream was conceived. Joseph and I were in the middle of one of our favorite activities, drinking green tea and brainstorming project ideas at our favorite cafe on Melrose, Blu Jam. He told me about the WYD concept as a social movement to inspire people to see, speak, and live their dreams. The minute he said it I was on board. More >
Six years ago, I had an idea for a film which sprang from a dozen different HARDY BOYS books buried in my subconscious. An idea about 2 brothers who go on a treasure hunt. That idea became the foundation for my first screenplay, titled LOST & FOUND. Only problem was, I had no idea how to write a script. I didn't even own script writing software. More >
Film and Television - and increasingly, the internet - are the art forms of today. Storytelling is one of our most ancient traditions, and in every culture on planet earth, is the way that people pass down history, teach lessons, entertain, and point the way to a better future. Great films such as OCTOBER SKY, or ITS A WONDERFUL LIFE, or SCHINDLERS LIST, have completely changed my life. More >
Okay, this is a recent dream. A short term dream you could say. The sad truth in the pursuit of our dreams we still must pay the bills. Juggling those two apples is an art in itself. So here, now, 3 years after graduating film school (where has the time gone?), the backlogged bills and loans that got me through school are now taking their toll (literally). No Fun! More >
