Introduction

Hi there. I'm an Award-winning indie film producer and Producers Guild Member based in Redondo. I enjoy sunsets and long walks on the beach. No, really. I do. But in Manhattan Beach. The Redondo Pier reeks of fish guts.

What do you do (or want to do) in film, TV, Internet, etc.?

I have worked in the film business for 18 years. In the last five, I have shepherded two features from the screenplay stage through successful Festival runs and eventually, into release (one directly to the home video market, one theatrically and appearing on DVD soon). I have also directed several music videos and a short film project.

What do you want out of this group? (i.e.: networking, collaborators, education, show-and-tell, presentations, etc.)?

Would love to meet like-minded individuals who love film.

What is your favorite film/TV genre?

My company name was inspired by "Raiders of the Lost Ark," the film that changed my life - I grew up loving all types of films ('R' ratings didn't mean much to my parents), but in recent years, I've become attracted to drama... While I still love to check out a summer blockbuster, I equally enjoy a good true story, or a unique experience (like, for example, "The Artist").
