Over the years, I have worn many hats: writer, director, animator, actor, FX artist, web developer, makeup counter saleswoman, amateur astronomer, barista, underwater explorer… All of these things somehow fall under general heading of “filmmaker.”
I started down the filmmaking road at a young age, but made my first “real” movie at 21. At that time, I was living in New York and influenced by friend and mentor Stan Brakhage. Most of my films were of the “experimental” genre, capturing polarized light and astronomical subjects in a sort of abstract expressionist way.
While I still enjoy working with purely visual expression, experimental film proved too heavy for me. I missed narrative. I’m a true movie geek at heart and that requires a well-rounded diet. Over the past several years, I have made a handful of narrative short films and videos that have played at film festivals, shown on cable, and made the rounds on the internets. I’ve written a few screenplays and sketches and am currently taking classes and performing long-form improv comedy in Los Angeles.
You can usually catch me and my sarcasm on twitter or Facebook, where I routinely geek out about movies, Fringe, Doctor Who, Futurama, Venture Bros., improv, unicorns… Join me!
