ABOUT ME
I wrote my first screenplay when I was 15. That script landed me a Manager I met via an AOL screenwriting chat room.
By the time I graduated High School, I had optioned two projects. I sold my first script at 21, and I was hired to write and direct my first feature at 22. I thought I had unlocked the door to Hollywood success (ha!), but I spent the next 15 years trying to figure out this crazy business.
Since then, I have worked on over forty films. Each project has taught me something valuable. I have learned how to make a movie under ANY circumstances, and I’ve encountered every problem you could possibly imagine (a star breaking her ankle the night before an action scene; a picture car catching fire and exploding on an active highway; cameras freezing in a sub-zero blizzard; trapped in a location by a flash-flood on an alligator swamp; escorted by armed military past Guatemalan guerillas; having footage confiscated by South African rangers… and the list goes on).
I always tell aspiring filmmakers: “There are much easier ways to make money. If you want to make movies, you have to love it.”
And I do. I really love it.
