I'm an aspiring filmmaker (writer, editor and director). I live in the WNY/Buffalo area which has an active, growing community of indie/micro-budgeted filmmakers ($5-$50,000). My efforts to make films have been slow, but I'm still hopeful. In the meantime, I'm living vicariously through other filmmakers I know! I also have a background in local theater and I draw. So, all that is in the mix here, baby! This blog is an effort to detail my journey toward making movies.
