As I reflect on the intricate tapestry of my life, it is undeniable that the realms of theatre and film have played a profound role in shaping my existence, courtesy of my mother, a seasoned professional dancer and acting instructor, and my father, a poet and stage actor of considerable talent. The formative years of my childhood were marked by a deep fascination with the cinematic experience, particularly the horror genre, which not only sparked my imagination but also instilled within me a profound sense of wonder. My earliest recollection of this fascination dates back to the tender age of five, when I would eagerly anticipate the start of Saturday afternoon movies, and it was during this period that I intuitively sensed that movies would become an integral part of my life's trajectory, a passion that would only continue to grow and evolve as I matured.
As I progressed through the various stages of life, my acquaintances frequently made the astute observation that I seemed more at ease in the spotlight or amidst the artificial backdrop of a set, as opposed to navigating the complexities of everyday reality, a notion with which I found myself in staunch agreement.
It is not difficult to understand why this phenomenon has come to pass, for I hail from a storied lineage of raconteurs, where the art of weaving captivating tales has been passed down through generations, thereby rendering it only logical that I would choose to follow in their footsteps, as it were, and dedicate my life to the craft of storytelling.
My professional directing career commenced on stage in Boston, Massachusetts, marking the beginning of a journey that would eventually lead me to the vibrant city of Los Angeles, where I would further my education and attain a prestigious Master of Fine Arts degree from the esteemed University of California, Los Angeles, a renowned institution that has produced numerous accomplished individuals in the field of arts and entertainment.
Throughout my illustrious career, I have had the distinct privilege of collaborating with an array of talented and accomplished actors, including the iconic Tippi Hedren, the multifaceted Carrie Keagan, the versatile Dennis Christopher, the accomplished Charles Hallahan, the accomplished Max Gail, the highly respected Karl Malden, and the talented Alex Rocco, to name just a few of the many talented individuals I have had the pleasure of working with.
My extensive repertoire of cinematic endeavors encompasses a diverse array of directorial credits, boasting a impressive list of feature films that have garnered significant attention within the industry. Notable among these is the intriguing "Vampyrz on a Boat", a captivating tale that explores the realm of the undead on the high seas. Additionally, my body of work also includes the psychological thriller "The Fiancé", which delves into the complexities of human relationships, as well as the romantic comedy "Valentine Dayz", which brings a touch of humor and lightheartedness to the traditional Valentine's Day narrative. Furthermore, my portfolio also showcases the intense and thought-provoking "Mind Rage", a film that delves into the darker aspects of the human psyche.
