My mom and dad were important to me as are my friends and the many ordinary people you meet every day. I am an avid reader and enjoy reading journals from people who lived in a different time. As I get older, I realize I have yet to leave my mark on the world, to say I was here, and to pass on something of value. Movies allow for a window into the world, a way to relate and hopefully to grow from the shared human experience. I know I will never be a Shakesphere or a great director but I would love to touch others and in a small way to make my dance here memorable.

The crowd jumped to their feet cheering for ..Daddy..s Girl.. at this year..s NY International film festival. Critics called it ..Heartwarming.., ..Inspirational.. and ..A must see film...

Through laugher and tears, ..Daddy..s Girl.. touches your heart as we see a life which was lost finally made whole.

Dennis King, the president of Sirona Studios notes that the cast has participated in a number of fund raisers including High Hopes to benefit chronically and seriously ill children, The Almost Famous Halloween Costume Party to benefit the Coalition for Missing and Exploited Children, and most recently, the Premiere of ..Daddy..s Girl.. at the Cinemagic Stadium Theater to benefit the Santa Fund through the Merrimack Town Welfare Department.
Mr. King said he wanted to thank the town of Merrimack for all their help in making his film and after seeing the example of the Police Department who purchased gifts for a family on hard times, he knew just what to do.
Tickets are $10 a piece and all proceeds go to the Town Welfare Department for the Santa Fund. The premiere is at 10 AM on Saturday December 9th. Tickets can be purchased on line at www.sironastudios.com.
Yönetmenler
Hitchcock, Kubrick, Lucas, Kurasawa, Hawks, Burton, Spielberg, Ford, Peckinpaw, and Woody Allen are among my favorites. Heck, I even get Mel Brooks (Nurse Diesel and Blazing saddles along with Young Frankenstein, good stuff). Having directed a picture, I can truly appreciate how much work there is, it is not just saying "action", it is the entire vison of the movie, the completion of the empty canvas,,, the story of life caputured in small moments

OMG, Am I that old! I don't feel it. It was hard to fess up to it but what ya gonna do. I am young at heart and I guess that is what counts most. Most people guess I am in my mid thirty's. I guess the secret is to spend time with younger people. I also enjoy "hanging out" with my kids, can learn a lot about their life, their hopes and dreams if you take the time to listen. It also keeps you current in the youth culture and I guess that helps too. Hey, I'm a Toyrus kid, I don't ever want to grow up, life is too much fun and making movies,,, well that is the most fun of all. Paul Mc Cartney once said "the trick in life to to find what you love and keep doing it". Yup, that about says it all.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Some more stuff about me: I enjoy scuba diving (I'm a rescue diver), working on losing weight to get back in my wetsuit, Singing (used to sing professionally, even cut a record, but now stick to lullabyes, Photography, movie making, racquetball (working on getting back my A game-used to enjoy doubles and managed to escape with only the occassional doughnut),horsebackriding (I worked at a racehorse breeding farm [trotters/pacers/flats], nothing like the sight of a newborn foal on a cold February night), history (I am currently reading the journals from Lewis and Clark), science (I read JAMA for "fun"), art (I go to movies with a clip board to take notes, also love museums), meeting new people (especially people who are passionate about what they are doing), Playing cards, laughter, dancing, doing something for charity (hey ya gotta give something back), hangin out with my kids, the ocean at sunset, a clear crisp fall day, perfect for the fair or apple pickin, and chasin fireflys. I put a whole part of my life on the shelf after my divorce to raise my kids; I think it helped them but now it is time for me to get out there are meet that person who completes me. I have so many things I have yet to do and it sure would be great to do them with the one I love.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Here are some of my favorite quotes: ,,,,
I have less interest in who my grandfather was,,I am more concerned who his grandson will become. A Lincoln,,,,,,Don't let school interfere with your education. Mark Twain aka Samuel Clemens, BTW, to mark twain is a riverboat expression taking mark of depths ,,,When dealing with men of business, be brief, concise, and to the point. G. Washington,,,,,What we have to do, we learn by doing. Aristole,,,,,,What on earth would a man do with himself if something did not stand in his way. H.G. Wells,,,,Now is no time to think of what you do not have, think of what you can do with what there is. Ernest Hemingway,,,The ablest man I ever met,,,is the man you think you are. FDR,,,,Wise men talk because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something. Plato,,,,There all kinds of things of which I was afraid at first from grizzly bears to mean horses and gunfighters; but acting as if I was not afraid helped me to cease being afraid. Teddy Roosevelt,,,,When people ask me how I came to E=MC2, I just tell them that behind all of science is my belief in God, It was that belief that helped me solve the puzzle, I just knew God would have an elegant order to the universe. A Einsten,,,If you are not failing every now and again, it is a sign you are not doing anything very innovative. Woody Allen,,,I never met a man I did not like. Will Rogers,,,,Que Sera sera, (what will be will be)
Doris Day,,,,,Just do it! Nike,,,,,,"Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans". John Lennon,,,,,,,,From "the Bishop"s wife" Cary Grant who plays the angel Dudley is reading Mrs Broms (Bishops wife) palm and he says, "In all the world there is only one constant,,,Youth and Beauty,,,Oh they are really the same thing. Loretta young then replies, "Oh but people get old." Cary replies, "People grow old because they were BORN OLD,
You were born young and will remain that way,,,, Great line and I believe it, some people are born old, me, I was born young, heck I am a toys r us kid and will find wonder and magic in all things to the end of my days,,,Claude Rains to Boogie, "I'm shocked, shocked, that gambling is going on here!,,,,,
When I am good, I'm very good. But when I am bad, I'm better. Mae West,
Harvey Korman: "Scarlet, that dress, that dress,,, it is wonderful!"

Müzik
When Zachary was about six years old, we had been divorced for about a year and he still hoped his mother would return. below is the song that he latched onto, everytime I hear it, I think of the forelorn hope of a small boy hoping his mother might see him in the snow coverd hill, and maybe, just maybe, the landslide would bring her back.

This song always spoke to my desire to be more than I am, I guess we see others who appear to have things we don't and we yearn to "be like that". To be popular, to be beautiful, to have talent, poise, oh to be more than we are. I have come to realize that there are very few perfect people out there and most everyone yearns to "be like that"

Here is a bit of history, this was the first WORLD WIDE SIMULCAST EVER.
The Beatles did many things and they were great because they were innovators. They added violins and piccolo trumpets to a rock band, who ever heard of that until George Martin turned them onto it. Like the Beach Boys, They created a new sound but they went beyond, kept innovating and that is why they were the best band of the century. This world wide broadcast was done during the Vietnam war just after the Tet Offensive. Things looked bleak, the war seemed endless and up to the mics came the Beatles with a song that reassured us in the most simple way, that there was a way to solve our troubles, all you need is love.

Another ballad, hey they speak to me, This is a bit surreal but once again, it talks about taking measure of the short dance we have and holding the moments dear.
green day time of your life
Here is a great opening scene from Cabaret, a very cleaver movie that documents the coming Nazi takeover from the perspective of a Cabaret. Very decadent and memorable performances from Joel Grey and Liza Minnelli
and of course Bob Fosse's coreography. The opening sequence sets to stage for the rest of the film. Notice that they only sell sex in this scene, later, the themes change dramatically, thus is the brilliance of this screenplay. My current project, "Crimson Shadows" trys to show a similar brake down this time the terror comes from Jihadist, but we have seen the face of terror before, it takes many forms. Enjoy,, Cabaret!
Film Noir, a style I will be using in my next film. Here is one of the best, Orson Wells is finally unmasked in this scene, notice the camera angles, the placement of shadows and the madolin which plays in the entire movie, very neat, this was filmed right after the war ended (WW II)
Another Film Noir, this is the scene that made Casablanca more than just a love story, it made the struggle real in a way similar to Cabaret, it is hard not to feel the emotion and be moved by this scene, anyone who has experienced war immediately recognises this universal pain. Wonderful movie with dynamic cast that made the movie jump out at you. Again, notice the use of shadow and cigarette smoke so important to film noir. This scene demonstrated that evil can be conquered by good, there are more of us then them, the courage of one man inspires the others to sing and in doing so, to defy evil. This scene is the key to making this a classic, other scenes with the memorial lines delivered so well make it a joy to watch but without this context, it never would have become one of the top ten movies of all time.
Going to the theater was so much a part of my early life. I enjoyed performing on stage and watching others perform as well. Here is the theatrical release of a play, Fiddler on the Roof. A tale of endurance against all odds, of family, devotion, and above all, love. This scene has always stayed with me, it puts all the emotions together, a beautiful music video at a time when music videos (as we know them) were not invented, enjoy Topol as he sings a song familiar to all fathers, Sunrise, Sunset.
Here is a great video from "Almost Famous", a Cameron Crowe film, sorry for the poor video but I wanted the bookends in this clip, it starts with Russell, the lead guitarist, strung out on drugs and we see the song heal him and the band, very cool, wait for the last line from "Lady Goodman" aka Penny Lane, You are home!, it speaks to the outsider in all of us, we are only outside if we let ourselves be, the world is out there, go grab it,,, even the "great Russell Hammond" was on the outside, we all take our turn at being stupid, it is when you have friends that share the journey with you, they can lift you up and make you better than you are, here is Elton John's "Tiny Dancer" in context.
There are so many great scenes from Quentin's work, Pulp Fiction is an obvious choice and Kill Bill 1 &2 have lots of action scenes to choose from. Here is one of my favorites with Michael Parks and Uma, the acting is all subdued and yet intense, watch for the cigarette and for Uma's inflections, great acting is not only with big gestures, this scene shows it can be with small ones too.
Televizyon
I don't watch much TV except for HBO, and then only Sunday night, does that count?
Kitaplar
I love to read the journals of real people who lived real lives rather than historical novels which are not always right. I particularly like American history and have studied many Indian tribes (about 200 of the 500 tribes) and was even given a name for my help on Native American Chat. I love other cultures and how they solve life's common challenges. Did you know the Inuit have 34 words for snow, when you live up there, you learn to tell the difference. The Iroquios had a materlineal society where the women picked the chiefs and they were the real power behind the scenes. I like the different way men and women are treated in different societies, how children are raised, oh just about everything interest me, mostly on the personal level, just how do they live.
I read everyday from JAMA to the comics, its all good.
Umstepe, ayeonka wachechu shumonie wasampe epinepelo washte, Hoka Hey!
In English, Pay attention, this white man will dance among the stars, its all good,
Oh, for those of you who got this far, Sirona means bright star or wishing star in celtic lore, that is where the "star light, star bright" comes from. Sirona was the first bright star in the sky and all the hopes and dreams of many a dreamer were placed upon that star, how fitting to name my company after such a star, I am always aware of the hopes and dreams of those around me,,, I have been fortunate to have such bright stars all around me and take with them all there hopes and dreams,,, one day, I will make them all come true.

Well Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and George Washington are right up there. I also admire Ghandi, Martin Luther King, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and so many more famous people. Most of all, I admire the people who have come into my life and changed it for the better. These people include Jennifer, Sophie, Eddie, Kristin (yes even you), Natalie, Kendra and Angie (yes young people can teach other ones too, Kevin (no Soph, I did not forget), Dorothy, Sacha, Mike, Joe, Ellen and so many more. The people you meet every day can change your life and make it more whole, thanks guys, you helped me more than you know,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I have been on my own for so long I began to think I may never fall in love but then Kevin met Sophie for the first time on my set. Well, it was electric and 4 years to the day he met her, Kevin asked Sophie for her hand in marriage. To see them so much in love, well it restores my faith in love, it tells me we all have that one person out there and never to give up hope, you only need to turn around and she will be there. Here is their song, "Home" from Michael Buble

Here is a secret about me, if you look carefully in the pictures above, you will see no drink in front of me, If I do drink, it is usually a diet coke. Still, I can have a great time and isn't that what life is all about. I laugh easily and always have a song in my heart. Just hanging with friends, good conversation, silly jokes, whatever, it is all good.

I have been lucky to meet some famous people already but that was more by accident and circumstance. Hmmm, well Adam Sandler would be fun to meet, I think because he seems to be still a regular guy even after 20 mil a picture. Being famous is not a priority, I just like to meet people who are interesting and who change your life. Lots of people have done that already and I hope to meet a lot more in the future. We only dance a short while, it is great to meet people on the journey who can make life more vivid, teach us something about ourselves, and to provide memories which sustain us in our moments of doubt.

Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my new erotic horror novel THE 13TH is now in stores everywhere! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride!
There's even a website devoted just to the book, with an interactive map of the places and characters at www.the13th-horror.com.
Edward Lee called THE 13TH "A double-barreled shotgun blast of macabre entertainment -- an expert amalgamation of grotesquerie, eroticism, mystery, and pitch-black occult horror that no fan of the genre can miss."
And Gary A. Braunbeck said, "John Everson's The 13th is the first out-and-out horror novel in a long while to actually scare the **** out of me while reading it. It's stylish, extremely well-written, filled with richly-drawn characterizations, and boasts a labyrinthine plot worthy of Umberto Eco. Trust me -- this one will fry your nerves and break your heart."
Will be updated the videos on youtube as daily as possible, some are very rough, but I am learning and getting better as I go along and see what happens here~
