Heroes
it may sound wimpy, but it would be my mom, this woman raised a strong willed son, all by herself, served in the U.S. Navy, put herself through nursing school with a seven year old (me) and had a great and long career helping others (32 years as an LPN), now if that ain't one badass chick.
About me: I'm Robert L. Sedam Jr. (it's dutch) and i'm an Indie Filmmaker in Bothell, WA., a little hamlet just outside of Seattle, I'm sure you've heard of that.
I started Ambitious Duck Productions back in 2000, to write, produce, and direct my own short films.
In 2005, I started A.D.P. Studios, a post-production studio, so I could do everything in-house.
I'm really a storyteller, I just want to spin a good yarn, make people gasp, make people laugh, make them think about things they'd rather not.
I was always the kid who could weave a good bit of blarney with the best of them, I wasn't really a liar, I just knew how to make a story interesting.
Now I use my powers for good, and I want people when they see my name on something, to know it will be worth their time and money.
I live with my imaginary cat fred (easy to take care of, no food, no litterbox) and of course the voices in my head, except one of them speaks french, and I can't understand a word she says.
People need to learn to smile more, don't take life so seriously.
I was born and reared in Washington (the State of) did a little time in Kansas (I'm half-hick) and California (not a big fan). I love the Northwest, it's my home. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't move to the ends of the Earth for the right woman :)
Who I'd like to meet: When God made Eve, he looked and said "WOO MAN, NICE WORK" and thus they where called Woman. Even though I'm a reclusive hermit, I'm really a people person deep down. I like to meet new people, so I can put faces to the voices in my head. I'd like to meet Samantha Brown (from the Travel Channel) - Kari Byron (from Mythbusters) - Kristin Key (from Last Comic Standing) - Chayse Dacoda (from While you where out) - Ari Scott (singer / songwriter) - Eva Pallarés (Spanish Actress) - Christina Cox (from Blood Ties) - other than women I would have loved to have met Nikola Tesla, Georges Melies (The Grandfather of Filmmakers) and Charlie Chaplin, imagine having dinner with three of the greatest minds of all time, very cool.

Thanks for the add. BTW "You're a creative genius". Did you know that Tesla invented an electric car which didn't need recharging? You can google it: Tesla Pierce-arrow car. It was 1931, unfortunately Pierce-arrow was bought, & it became AMC motors.
