I am an award winning independent
filmmaker from Long Island, New York who is production on a few films of all types - documentary, horror, drama, dark comedy, etc. The latest film I am currently shooting, "Dying for Change" won "Best
Producer" award at the 2007 Pocono Mountains Film Festival and I have won previous awards for other films (my short films, Nightmare, The Day They Came Back, All I Want For Christmas). I have worked closely
with Friday the 13th Part 3 actor Paul Kratka on two of my films so far, The Day They Came Back, where he played Detective Jason Ronner, and Illuminated, where
he plays the Narrator who explains to the main character in the film the plans that the elite have to take over the world and how they will do it. "Dying for Change" is my first feature length production and
it will shoot for the next year or so and will follow various organizations that are making a positive change for the better.. I have shot a segment on "We Are Change" since June 2007 and am continuing to shoot other organizations such as environmental, animal rights, 9/11 truth stories, etc. My short film The Day They Came Back, an award winning 23 minute zombie film, won Best Horror Film and Best Screenplay at two festivals in 2006. It also won "Honorable Mention" at the 2007 Fright Night Film Festival. I have been on a couple of independent radio shows in the past to talk about my films. I am very much into freedom and am anti drugs, anti drinking, I'm a raw foodist, meaning I do not eat meat, dairy, or anything cooked or processed and I am
very much into politics and love individual rights and freedoms. I'm a supporter of Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich. I don't believe in the left/right paradigm and will continue to fight to make art that I believe in and love. I don't support war, don't support Bush, and I love America and what it needs to be based on. I have always been into horror films since I was young and some of my favorites are classics like: Halloween,
Carrie, Phantasm, Day of the Dead, The Shining, Friday the 13th, etc. I will be a featured filmmaker in Chris Garetano's documentary "Son of Horror Business" which covers independent filmmakers along with well known horror filmmakers such as the legendary George A, Romero, Bob Clark and many others. My next project aside from the documentary is a short horror film which I
am in the early planning stages of and pending any paid work or big projects, will be working on this film which is basically about Halloween and the season/feeling that surrounds it. Still planning out the story.
