   About The Big Ideas

The Big Ideas are six Muggle-born Twins fans who tend to gather and make noise in basements, apartments, and virtually any other room that can rustle up enough microphones and enough space to contain them. They have a general proclivity toward vocal harmonies and appetizing melodies. They share a collective distaste for empty glasses, their old apartment and most Bears quarterbacks.

Hey there,

Here's one from left field...

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?

A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:

Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella

Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.

Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.

I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4

Help to raise awareness.

Say have you checked out my web site recently?

Take care and keep in touch.

Best,
Faber.

THANKS FOR SUPPORTING THE CLOSET MAN!






12 yr old version of the Closet Man, book he’s readin has major significance toward the mystery of who he grows up to become…

THE CLOSET MAN, WRITTEN AND CREATED FOR FILM BY MIKE DECKER.........TO BE FILMED AND DIRECTED BY DAMON PARSON.........
Born without a chance to a prostitute mother and a bedroom in the closet this young individual will rise to become much more then whatever you think he is…
In the beginning you think of him as dumb, slow, screwed up from childhood, haunted from his mother’s murder, and homeless other then, well, your closet… You’re scared of him because you never know which closet he may come out of and no idea what he’ll look like when he does, as his disguise changes with each closet he visits, and stalking you from the inside of your own home for up to weeks before he strikes!
Later you mystically begin to realize there is more to this Closet Man killer then ever imagined and eventually chilled as you digest just how much more to him there really is, a story, a goal, and even an end game that is revealed in twist after twist up until the final twisted moment revealing the truth and making sense of all the previous twist and turns that baffle you right till the very end, leaving you breathless…

PREQUEL to The Closet Man comin soon!!!
