GREMLINS FAN FILM - Gremlins 3 Warmup

Of the 4 billion people on the planet, 2 billion want to be actors, 1 billion want to be directors, 0.5 billion want to be screenwriters, and the rest have given up hope. I count myself in that 0.5 billion club and so far things could be worse.

I've written a fair number of scripts, placed high in prestigeous contests, almost won a Disney Fellowship, almost made an Aztec zombie movie and am still plugging along. In the meantime, I work your average 8:30-5 white collar job. It pays the bills.

To breakup the monotony I also continue in the martial arts I've been exploring for the last 25 years or so. I've been fortunate enough to study with some of the most amazing martial artists out there, and try to pass that along to my own students.

I moved around alot, but it's also given the me the chance to see alot. So far I've lived all over the U.S. and been to most of the states. I've been to 27 countries on 4 of the 7 continents and counting. I went to school in Australia and met some great people. I really miss it there actually. Can't wait to get back.

Did you end up going to the game after all?
Watched bits and pieces during ND commercials (but definitely watched the last minute or so)--it was a great game and the Silver Stars survive one more day.
Hopefully they'll pull it off tomorrow!
