2. Where might people know you from?
I am a writer, director, producer and cinematographer. My short film Hinnon Valley, which I wrote, directed and produced appeared in over 25 festivals nationwide and won 13 awards. The film has also just secured distribution with Shorts International. A feature film I was the cinematographer for, 4 Dead Girls: The Soul Eater is now available on iTunes and many other v.o.d. services. My newest project entitled The Wretched, written by Collin Watts and directed by yours truly will be unleashed on the horror circuit within the next few months.
3. When it comes to what you do, who or what are your major influences?
I have a lot of influences in many areas, but as far as film goes I admire directors such as Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorcese, Wes Craven, Clive Barker, Alex Proyas, Frank Capra and Orson Wells just to name a very few. What grabs me about these particular people is how they have sustained while making a quality product through many genres and styles.
