About Me:

...
...

I'm just a struggling filmmaker and writer who has left a horrible trail of emotional detritus in my wake as I've careened through life simply trying to find love.
I try to make movies and TV shows. I love it. It's fun, even when I'm not "successful." It's a huge challenge.
Now developing a powerful Western. SEVEN WAYS FROM SUNDAY, a script that was in Warner Bros. hands twenty years ago and scheduled for production, then went into turnaround. To star John Schneider (TV's Dukes of Hazzard, Smallville; Cable's Nip/Tuck, Seven Miles of Bad Road; Movies Sydney White, Collier & Co.; Broadway's Grand Hotel, Chicago). This Western evokes the styles of Sergio Leone and Sam Peckinpah.

Here's something I did three years ago while living in New York City. As part of a group of Manhattan filmmakers, we gave ourselves challenge assignments, stories to shoot in just a few days. My assignment involved two elements: to use "shadow" for a shooting technique and "fulfillment" as the subject matter. This is "CHELSEA BOYS and FULFILLMENT."
As a personal note, I shot much of this at BIG CUP, the famous coffee house that, sadly, closed a couple years ago.
Here's an exciting project from a couple years ago. I was the Co-Producer. It's JOHN SCHNEIDER'S COLLIER & CO. -- HOT PURSUIT! which was in limited theatrical release. This fantastic fun family movie is available on DVD on September 18!

John Schneider produced, directed, and stars in JOHN SCHNEIDER'S COLLIER & CO. -- HOT PURSUIT! and financed it out of his own pocket. His '69 orange Dodge Charger, now known as Traveler, is roaring through the film, jumping creeks and causing mayhem. Collier & Co. tells the story of J.R. Collier, a man who used to be the greatest race car driver in the country, but who now struggles to keep his family together as his wife demands a divorce because, as she says, 'A family needs security.' And good ol' boy Collier knows nothing about security. He cooks up a scheme to win exotic cars by street racing unsuspecting rich boys, and then sell them to highest bidders. But one car contains something the bad guys want back, and want back real bad. So, the chase is on, with Traveler, his powerful '69 orange Dodge Charger leaping through the air, with helicopters chasing him down, with exotic cars racing down lonely narrow roads. In the end, Collier wins; the cars, the money, and, most importantly, his family.

Here's a demo reel of some of the stuff I've done:
