in my desire to get more experience, I answered a ad on graigs list
that turned out to be Dan rep The Filmmakers Channel so then I got involved in distribution, and built my own website Big Window Video/filmmakershelp.com that offered streaming video and a place to show their films on The Filmmakers Channel, that has developed into a full service of production, distribution, marketing, and business development.
Working with a hand full of talent in filmmaking, web designers and marketing programs to help in independent distribution.
I continue to aspire to be a filmmaker and learn, it seems I got notice this year after working sound for both the 48 Hour film with Fritz Eberle - Director, DP, Editor for Breaking in, and The Duke City Shoot Out, with Will Hartman writer director for the winning film Food For Thought.

As for current artwork I’ve written a screenplay called
2013 After The Dead you can see a synopsis at 2013afterthedead.com. I really want to make movies and distribute them
