Great minds. Soulful artists, filmmakers and writers, and anyone else who, while taming the ego, yet relishing Life and one's Self, recognizes the grand illusion of it all...
A NOTE ABOUT THE FRIENDS LISTS - Please read it all:
I try to regard everyone as a friend. I know many of the folks on my friends list. I enjoy my friends and correspondence from them, however I seldom have time to respond, but I try - as I am working or traveling.
IMPORTANT: I really prefer comments that have few graphics, (1 ideal, 3 tops). If you have something elevating or positive to say or show or share, I welcome it. I do not post comments that feature banner ads, political propaganda, dogmatic deceits or sex. I'm a professional artist and appreciate your recognizing that is why I am here. It is always truly refreshing when I meet truly like-minded folks who 'get it'.
All of us matter and I trust we are all contributing at our highest ability, thus I usually add those who send a friend request, especially filmmakers and other artists who are clearly creating something worthwhile. Ultimately, it comes down to something very simple, eh? With specific regard to:
WRITERS: I admire writers and welcome connections to anyone who writes or appreciates literature, screenplays, poetry, and so forth. I must note that I am wholly dedicated to an incredibly talented, very small group I call 'my' writers - these people are included below: Jason, Nelson, CJ, and Gary, primarily, with Noel, Randy, and Marcus also in the loop. I am committed to bringing their work to the screen and it'll likely take us through the next dozen years or so. I am able to consult periodically, and want to encourage others to keep writing! Write, write, rewrite, write!
Please do not ask me to read, analyze, edit or rewrite your screenplay, novel, short-stories and so forth UNLESS you are willing to pay my customary rates for such services.And thank you - in anticipation.
Considerations for co-productions evolve from high integrity relationships built with the best in the businesss, not empty wishes or pipe dreams.
ACTORS: I support your efforts, however please be aware casting through myspace would not give you the opportunity you are working so hard for. Yes, you may 'get lucky', but the usual routes serve you better. If we are ever in your area, we'll be sure to post notices.
MUSICIANS: I truly appreciate great music. If I personally like your music or think it might someday add value to our projects, I'll happily add you. Otherwise, please continue to seek out those who are better matches.
GROUPS: I know there are some great groups out there, but if you invite me into a group, please don't be offended, I simply don't have the time to participate meaningfully.
PRIVATE pages - I respect that, however please jot a note sharing something about who you are and why we are aligned as friends. Or I'll have no clear reason to have time for your profile.
Foremost, let us all be wise and authentic, and follow our dreams with intelligence and kindness intact.
