Actor
I am just me
I'm an actor and can devise, write (proof read flawlessly), drive, ride a bike - or horse - fall, punch, parry, stab, shoot, dance and sing (none too badly). I've also edited vid and sound, fiddled with FX, plotted and rigged lights, and will always help out wherever. I'm not precious; not a luvvie. I don't harp on about professionalism; there's no such thing - you're either devoted to the whole illusory craft, or you're a poseur. I get my hands dirty. But MOST OF ALL, I bring belief and inner life to scripts or impro so that the camera will capture reality. I'm tireless; I love the work.
Ancient 3 Chip Sony hand-held; portable Mac, Final Cut Studio; Final Draft; Adobe Premiere, Photoshop, InDesign; Revolution Studio; Microsoft Office; sense of humour (most of the above under-used).

"AI": wrong screen (went there to see Amores Peros); twice would have been more than once too often; let's just say it takes a long time to end. That's gotta be the only time. I don't leave. There's always something to think on; I'm a patient man.
