Education:
At San Francisco Community College, I took the core classes with an interest and emphasis on Psychology, Nutrition, and Writing.

Other interests:
Writing:

  • I've written a book called, "THE POWER WITHIN WHAT WE THINK; The Care and Maintenance Manual for the Human Condition." (1996)
  • This electronic book covers areas of eating, breathing, sleeping and exercise.
  • I've written all my own comedy material. 
  • I've have written ten screen plays in various genre that have not been published.

Photography:

  • From 1975 to 1995, I've used 35mm, half frame, and digital cameras as a wedding, portrait, and pet photographer. I also enjoy creating artistic shots for computer desk top art.

Videographer: (1983 to 1990)

  • As a videographer in 1983, in San Francisco, I worked on experimental video shorts in San Francisco. These projects were reviewed by Video critic John Rowberry. 


Obsession, 1983 Experimental hauteur work has a drifting narrative. The story's claustrophobia requires dedication to endure. Fans of early Lothar Lambert will have the necessary degree of tolerance, highly creative, nonetheless.

David, 1885. Experimental, creative, avant-garde piece with above average production values. Clever devices result in the striking use of audio and visual elements. 

Portrait at an Exhibition, 1985. Unusual, but engrossing and slightly surrealistic story of the inner workings of a lone photograph in a small photo exhibit. Some extremely clever videography. 


Cartoons: (1990 to 1994)
I have four lines of cartoons, and comic strips that are not currently being published.  In the Year 2525, Shan at 13, and Chatter Boxes.

Hobbies:
I enjoy reading, writing, and Arithmetic. I currently have an electronic book, on line as well.
I love music, cocktail parties, and the general art of Creation.

Finially...
I believe there is a lot of opportunity in the entertainment world, and I would like to share in that windfall, and make a name for myself as a writer/director. Not to mention that I would enjoy rubbing my elbow on important people... In Conclusion: I would like to thank you for spending the time to look at my prospectus. Now I would like to leave you with a final thought: This will work, and successfully I assure you, you'll be glad you got on the bandwagon with this project!

In good films, there is always a directness that entirely frees us from the itch to interpret.
--Susan Sontag

Quotes: From the masters

They are, as it were, train-bearers in the pageant of life, and hold a glass up to humanity, frailer than itself. We see ourselves at second-hand in them: they show us all that we are, all that we wish to be, and all that we dread to be. . . . What brings the resemblance nearer is, that, as they imitate us, we, in our turn, imitate them. . . . There is no class of society whom so many persons regard with affection as actors.
-- William Hazlitt
 
Oh! it offends me to the soul to hear a robustious periwig-pated fellow, tear a passion to tatters, to very rags, to split the ears of the groundlings.
--William Shakespeare
