About me:

I was raised in Allentown Pennsylvania by adoptive parents and met some of my family in 1976 and in 1980. I then left the states and was living in the middle east, fell in love moved to U.K. in 1982 and settled here, with a really lovely girl.We divorced for no fault of our own because some responsibilities and some work came up that I needed to do. This took me to Baghdad on Sept.7, 1988, then to Delhi, I traveled around India for a year and went back to U.k.. Then I was off to Israel,then Greece, where I spent nearly 2 years, before returning to the U.K. I have been to a bit of the U.S.A. in my childhood and growing up. Haven't seen much of the U.K. cause of projects but think its one of the most beautiful of lands. I have biological family here but don't get to speak to them much, and the other side of my family are in the entertainment industry and other interests. _____________________________________________________________________ Studied media especial. International and other types of film work since early childhood and always like to see good technical and all around work in many different genres I'm always interested and looking out for other peoples views on why a film is good in your opinion, and also other forms of media. My one love is horror films, I have to admit and would love to exchange views and films on the subject. I have been impressed with many University film and film council funded projects worldwide over the last 19 or so years and think that these are great things for the inspiring film makers of the future. The major studios works have different standards because of financial and other pressures that keep them mostly fun to watch, but the risk factors of exploration or chance taking..hmmm. They like to play it too safe for the investors etc. It is refreshing when they do release something out of these bounds and break with the overused or the competitions formulas compounded with the "can you top this",edge they try to get that really makes things just entertaining at most to that standard and not something that is exceptional in its originality. Of course this is my opinion. And if you find any films or other media that's neat to you drop me a line what you find cool about it.
