Filmmaking. It's a tough form of art to pursue due to the sheer amount of time and effort you have to apply, but it's worth the blood.
I love movies. When I see a great movie in the theater, I'll usually go back and see it a second, third, even fourth time.
I enjoy most of the arts. I work with acrylic, oil, & watercolor paints on canvas and graphite, charcoal, & pastels for sketching. I take lots of pictures. While the iPhone has made it possible to catch everything in frame and move it from computer to computer, page to page, I enjoy the uncertainty involved with my old-school Minolta when pursuring artistic photography.

Hi, my name's Christopher. I'm an aspiring film director, and this is my filmmaker profile! Click the banner above to visit my official site.
In July, 2008, I launched a screenwriting resource called ScriptXRay.com, which is dedicated to the exploration and discovery of the art and craft of screenwriting. For more, visit the site, check out the articles, leave me some comments. Enjoy!
HERE'S A FILM I MADE. CHECK OUT MY BLOG TO SEE WHAT NEW PROJECTS ARE IN THE WORKS!
Hey chris, the two choices for the next villains, which are just rumors at this point, would be interesting. Im a little over johnny depp because he is in everything and I kind of cant imagine him stretching himself to go as crazy as he would need to go. Hes been everywhere for the past few years and I would love to see someone least expected to be in the film. Like ledger, who would of thought he could pull off the joker, I sure was not expecting that. Johnny depp is johnny depp, no matter what role he is in and I think someone fresh would be a better choice. Though Ill be happy either way as long as its good. Im more interested in the phoenix rising of Spider man 4+5. That is where my eye is to see if they can salvage that ship. Anyways, hope all is well with you and I hope to see yah soon!
:( one day we'll live closer! umm im taking a lot of business classes... business law, intro to business, and 2 online classes.. kind of hard i must say... but its all worth it :)
Whats up, whats up my friend. Thought I'd hit you up and see how things were rolling for you. I've been in contact with lance and hes been wanting to get a hold of you, he had a dream that was pretty fucked up and he really wanted to get a hold of you (I could use your phone number to, forgot to transfer my numbers from my old phone). He finally quit smoking, just drinks a bit now, really proud of that dude.
hey! i miss you guys so much! i dont know if katie told you but we're closing cupcake at the end of the month- but that means ill be able to take 1000 vacations if i wanted to- to see you guys!!!
