About me:
My name is Benito Juarez. I am an amateur filmmaker working hard to someday do what I love to do, which is making films. There have been a lot of tragedies in my life, but it just makes me stronger and gives me the drive to do all that I can do to make my dreams come true. I started off with dreams of becoming a rock star, but that didn''t work out. Now I am a filmmaker who just got thrown into the lifestyle, and I love it. I love producing, directing, editing, working the camera, and just about everything else for my films. Check out my films and let me know what you think of them. Creative criticism is what makes an artist grow!Who I'd like to meet:
Robert Rodriguez, Quentin Tarantino, Paris Hilton, Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, and Paul Reubens.Details
