Franko's Blurbs

About me:
PERSONAL: Well I broke down, joined the 21st century and got a myspace. My name is Frank. Known by the masses as Franko, and as Frankie by family and friends on a personal level. I'm 21 years old, currently live outside Albuquerque New Mexico, and am attending the University of New Mexico for a BA in Media Arts. I moved to New Mexico at 17 from my home State of New Jersey, and have lived here for 4 years as of July 08; and loving all the new friends, family, and life I have here. I love comedy, and have a great sense of humor. It is impossible to offend me with a joke, even about me. This love for fun and comedy is expressed in the fun, hopefully entertaining things I make...But I also have a deep, serious, emotional side that is expressed in my films as well. And have recently found there are alot of things I want to say to the world using film. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ UNDERGROUND PICTURES: ("UP" for short) Is the studio name all my College work is under. From short films, skits, to series episodes. some are made for fun to entertain the world...and myself; some are more serious, meaningful forms of artistic expression that are very close to my heart; and some good old school stuff from a High School video class. So its a little of both worlds here. So enjoy, and pleas leave me comments and messages about the page and my work. And Welcome to Underground Pictures.

Who I'd like to meet:
I'd like to meet all my living Influences.

I'll be coming back to UNM in the Summer so maybe I'll see you around. Once I get a new cell phone I'll give you the # and we'll chill some time. I've got lots of good stories from the middle east.

boletta	Jan 10 2008 3:49 PM hey frank what up baby?
Jake	Jul 2 2007 10:04 PM Synopsis for flush: A neurotic, methodical genius college student is sleeping in his dorm room. The alarm clock goes off, and he wakes up and prepares for another productive day in the atmosphere academia. He goes to the bathroom to brush his teeth and releive himself. Trying to ignore the disgusting sounds emanating from the stall directly behind him, he starts to brush, when at long last a big smelly guy, preferably a minority of sorts comes out of the stall with dreadlocks, and some shabby pajamas on and walks over the the sink next to him. Our main character can clearly hear the hip hop music coming from Dreadlock's ipod headphones. Clearly apalled by the smell and appearance of this brute our main character says to him, "Excuse me, but you forgot to flush but you forgot to flush". The camera angle shifts to a POV shot of dreadlocks looking down on our main character. still in POV, the hip hop music is at it's full volume and as our main character repeats his request it is barely audible over the deep basso of Biggie Smalls. Large hands pass over the camera and remove the headphones and the character says again,"You forgot to flush!" The camera shifts to the mirror's reflection of our main character as dreadlocks walks behind him and say,"Yo, mind ya fuckin business white boy." Some dramatic gregorian chant builds in the background as our main character becomes increasingly infuriated by the cheeky nature of this culturally inferior gorilla, he proceeds to somehow beat the living shit out of this guy in a brutal, draw out, bloody fight scene where our main character will demonstrate lethal combat skills while simultaneously destroying several sinks and mirrors and knocking down the barries between several stalls. The music will crescendo and build until finally he returns dreadlocks to the soiled toilet bowl where he shoves his head into the filthy water that he refused to flush and drown him in it as the wate
