Check out my new movie about how to use symbols and metaphors in your films and stories:
What is the goal of telling a great story?
I am an aspiring cosmic storyteller. I use words, images, sounds, paintings, animations and films to communicate across boundaries. I see with my eyes closed better. I hypothesize that everything is just the way you intend to see it and seek to see everything in a more beautiful positive light. I am here to inspire others to tell their own stories so that we may all become more wise about turning our planet into a green global village utopia. I wrote a book in 2004 called Developing Digital Short Films covering screenwriting and preproduction for microbudget filmmaking. Take your film or story idea through Chapter Two online where I talk about developing characters and themes while creating a unique visual metaphorical language for each scene in your film or story. This book features a step-by-step brainstorming process for coming up with a great visual story using lists of ideas for each step. For example, when it is time to pick a plot goal you are given over 100 possible ones to choose from to keep people from getting stuck. This process works for both short and feature films or any kind of visual story!
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone interested in making microbudget digital films or animations. Storytellers and screenwriters. Buckaroo Bonzai, Madame Blavatsky, Pythagoras, Georgia O'Keefe, Salvador Dali, Robert Williams, Andy Goldsworthy, Picasso, David Lynch, Steve Jobs, Ayn Rand
