Penn Jillette
I have an amazing, wonderful, beautiful, smart and sexy wife, Kristin, and she is my one and only and I love her; I am a freelance videograher, editor, and writer; I also do my own writing occasionally, although I've started a ton of scripts that I haven't finished; I am part of a production company called Street Souljas Productions with my cousins Randall and A.J., and we have produced several short films and feature films, and we have several more planned and coming in the near future; I am also part of a production company called Sympathetic Devil Productions with my friends John and Andrew that is just starting to get off the ground; I also do a weekly podcast called "The Reel Deal Podcast" with my buddy Chris, who is also a writer and published poet, and you can find it on iTunes or at our site; I have a music side project called "City Sunrise" with my bro Hunter where I play piano, guitar, and some other stuff; I work full time at the original Chick-fil-A Dwarf House; I attend Georgia State University and I'm working at a degree in Film & Video; so needless to say, I'm a bit of an underachiever.
Who I'd like to meet: IntroBuse
This was a short film we made as a submission for the reality TV show "On The Lot" back in early 2007. I edited the piece and had a small role in it as well.
Mike & Danny
Our first project for the 48 Hour Film Project in Atlanta 2007, we ended up winning second place and awards for Best Directing, Best Use of Character, and Best Use of Prop as Character. We also got a chance to work with one of Atlanta's most prominent actors, Matthew Cornwell.
Dissociation
Our last film for the RiM 50 Hour Film Festival, we worked with Greg Savage for the first time and also got our friends Melissa Lowe and Brittany Susko to come act for us.
