Socrates said that when story dies a society becomes decadent. I am someone who appreciates and lives for story. Without it, my heart might stop beating.
While working on a union feature film after film school as an Editorial PA, the post super gave me a compliment that to this day holds the top place in my book. On a card featuring Humphrey Bogart, she wrote "Everyone comes to Hollywood for different reasons and in different ways. But you came for a love of movies, and it shows."
The privilege to pursue a passion for film continues to be an amazing experience, and something for which I thank God. I can't imagine myself anywhere else on the planet. Filmmakers such as Edward Zwick and Mel Gibson continue to inspire me with past and present masterpieces like Blood Diamond, Legends of the Fall and Braveheart.
Now after three indie features working as a Hollywood Editor, and after a myriad of short films, I have learned a good deal about the craft of story telling. Working under directors who know story and reading books like "Story" by McKee and "Save The Cat" by Blake Synder, also help wrap my mind more around the art.
Theater Eleven specializes in feature length films, short films, corporate video and DVD wedding invitations.

Director
Current directing credits are limited to short films, but 2011 will change that. Stay tuned for my first feature length credit! My last project as director was an eleven minute short film for a wedding invitation DVD. Novel ideal right? Theater Eleven thought so. We wrote, produced, directed, edited and produced DVD art work. An all-in-one customer solution!

It is no secret that many Hollywood professionals wear multiple income hats. Theater Eleven is no exception.
I bring my clients the skills of a filmmaker, and combine those skills with the abilities of a website designer, coder and SEO specialist. More than one film production has benefited from this multi-offering, and I even did design mock-ups for the Universal Studios feature film "The Brothers Solomon".
