I started out with photography and got a BFA from Cornell in the early 80's. I then became involved with engineering. Making films spans all sorts of professions, as any filmmaker can attest.

FROM OUT OF THE BLUE
is a black and white feature about a man, an woman, and a young girl that all fall in love amongst themselves. The amorous seeds are sown during a softball tournament in California and come into full bloom in New Mexico.

NEW PROJECTS.
I'm currently writing a script and preparing a budget for a feature film that involves a man recently released from a mental institution that takes on a hostage due to his interpretation of the Latin Bible while incarcerated. I want to keep the budget similar to what I used for my previous film, to stay within this context.

THE STATE OF INDIE FILM.
Not much of an authority on this topic, though I do appreciate the potential of independent cinema. It's the only forum currently capable of realizing the true potential of film. The limited funds available with independent filmmaking works to an advantage. It seems the more money involved with a project the more likely those involved will want to hedge their bets, go for the accessible, tap into the stereotypical. But filmmaking, like all art, shouldn't be about money, but about realizing personal vision.
