I am a film director with many projects in various stages of development...from fully produced to a mere flash of inspiration. I and my company are hoping to have three feature films out this year: '3CROSSES', 'BLOOD' and 'HANDHELD'. We are also currently in pre production on a Zombie Chiller starring Hammer Horror Legend Ingrid Pitt as well as a number of short films: 'The Usual?', 'All The Little Things', 'Home', 'Inner City Jones and the Courtyard of Doom', 'Friends Like These', and 'One'. We also have a Vampire horror 'co-op' film in constant development/shooting/discussion...honing it into something quite unique at present called 'THE KILLING PLACE'...

Th e name of my acting class is 11 brother...and for you: in numerology, "11" is a master number! Master numbers possess more potential than other numbers! It's prime too -- indivisible!here's some info on the meaning of 11! 11 - IDEALIST Traits:artist, celebrity, highly energized INSPIRATION, psychological, radical, sensitive The number 11 symbolizes the principle of enlightenment. It colors everything with drama, a visionary outlook, artistic sensitivity, and a sparkling quality. It is not truly practical, but its contribution is its unique perspective and philosophy which instigates new consciousness. Its energy is very high-strung, intense, mercurial, polarized (off an on), and subtle. Gifts: Revealing higher truths, transformation, poetic interpretation, romance Personal Goal: Living the dream
