Movies
Anything that's good, with a real story and plot and decent acting, 1894 to the present.
About me: Where to begin? Over the years I've been an aspiring comic book artist, musician, novelist, and would-be movie maker. I've also dabbled in computer programming and worked in call centers taking calls from irate consumers. More recently my main projects have involved photography and sound recording, as well as semi-acting roles in occasional totally amateur productions. I record spoken word artists in my living room when I get the chance, and I have put spoken word CD's together for five local spoken word artists. For two years I served as the unofficial photographer for the first generation of Saturday night open mics at Bill's Records & Tapes in Dallas, TX. Currently I work as an occasional photographer and fan of several local D/FW bands, and have contributed to the Deep Ellum Enrichment Project and the Town Square Project. I make the occasional appearance as spectator at the monthly Mad Swirl open mic at the Absinthe Lounge (inside the Southside Lofts, or the old Sears building, and one street down from the new Bill's Records), and have put a website together which showcases examples of my photography and many of the spoken word recordings.
