The main focus of this group is information pertaining primarily for actors, writers, producers, and directors. The info is for both people who have never done anything in film but want to get started to seasoned professionals. However, it is open to everything.

A little bit about myself. My first step into filmmaking was producing and acting as one of the leads in "Trade Offs" (www.TradeOffs-themovie.com) which is now available on Netflix & Blockbuster.com.

Then I went to work on "Master and Commander - The Far Side of the World" down in Mexico for 5 weeks as a specialist (a glorified extra) and made a 'way, way behind the scenes' documentary which is now available for viewing on iFilm.com.

Since then, I have acted in nearly sixty projects (short films, spec commercial, a few features, etc). I got a featured role on an Albert Brooks film "Looking for Comedy in a Muslim World" which finally gave me SAG-eligibility status.

I just want to act, write and direct. I'm always looking for like-minded people to work with who are motivated by passion. I work in LA and San Diego primarily.

In regards to this group, if you sign up for 'Individual' or 'Daily Digest' you will receive all newsworthy info (links, casting calls, etc). However, if you sign up for 'Special Notices Only', then you will only hear about screenings of my projects.

Happy Filmmaking!
