Bio: I have always been an observer of history, technology and speculative thinking. Summers spent in Mississippi with extended family exposed me to entrepenuerism, alternative technologies and innovative thinking. These vacations were times of reading Popular Science Magazine and Popular Mechanics and watching Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock and National Geographic on a neighbor’s television.

My world is informed by History, science and mystery.

The Search for Count Dante Trailer

"In the 1960s and 70s, his scowl was unmistakable and his kung fu pose conveyed a menace that went beyond martial arts mastery. He called himself Count Dante and he claimed to be “The Deadliest Man Alive” in garish comic book ads and gruesome instructional manuals. While his name and title may have been more show biz than lineage, his drive to live up to his fearsome reputation left one man dead and a promising career in ruins."

Webb explores how a rich kid from Chicago became the self-proclaimed “Crown Prince of Death” all told against the backdrop of social change during the 1960s and 70s and the emergence of martial arts in American popular consciousness.

What makes floydwebb different?
Different? This is the second solo film of my career. I have spent years working in support capacity. This story is close to me because I was there on the periphery of all fo these events.
