About me:

I'm 30 years old and I'm a pretty laid back person. As a matter of fact, people often like to play off that aspect of my personality because they know I won't get offended easily at what they say. Currently by day I'm a Computer Technician, but by night...or afternoon, depending when I get off work, I'm a Filmmaker. Sometimes I'm both at the same time, just don't tell my boss that, she doesn't like when I work on personal projects during work hours. So far my short films have won awards, been screened in film festivals, broadcast on the Internet, and have even aired on television. As a matter of fact, my film "The Depression of Detective Downs" aired on ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, and other networks across the country on the program "African American Short Films" from November 2007 to January 2008. As of now, I've been working on "The Depression of Detective Downs 2: On Depression's Edge." I'm hoping the film opens a few more doors for me. I'm also hoping that it raises more awareness about mental illness. I strongly feel that people shouldn't just be concerned about how well someone's doing physically, but mentally as well. When I'm not working on those things, I like to go to the movies. If you ever see a black guy pouring Goobers, Raisinets, or bite-sized Reeses Peanut Butter Cups into his popcorn, that's probably me.

Who I'd like to meet:

Anyone that will watch one of my films and say "You know what this town needs, Johnny? (I'm assuming he has a friend named Johnny by the way) This town (Hollywood) needs this kid (I'm 29, but if they were in their 40s they'd consider me a kid). Let's immediately get this guy a five picture deal working for us, Whaddaya say?!" I'd also like to meet anyone who's a fan of my work, as well as plain ole nice everyday people.
