I am a filmmaker. I love to make films that shock people, open their eyes, make them think, talk and realize how different all of us are. That’s what makes this world so great: that all of us are free to be different. A 25 year veteran of stage and film, I’m an award-winning director, writer and actor, having also appeared in major television series and motion pictures. My film directorial debut, the short mockumentary PHONE SEX GRANDMA, premierered at the 2006 Slamdance Film Festival to standing-room only audiences. Since its hit Slamdance premiere, PHONE SEX GRANDMA has played over 40 fests to date, earning rave reviews. My new documentary short THE OUTHOUSE had its hit World Premiere at the 2008 Slamdance Film Festival. OUTHOUSE was part of Slamdance’s $99 short block. Slamdance gave me $99 to make a short under 5 minutes. To date, since January, OUTHOUSE has played over 15 fests worldwide. This is a perfect example of what someone can do with no money; when you envision something that no one else can see. Declare your independence. Make your voice be heard. The world deserves it.
