Occupation writer/filmmaker
Introduction I'm a writer/filmmaker living in Memphis, TN. THE WAY I SEE THINGS, my first feature film, was completed in 2008 and over the course of the following year toured festivals around the world. A second feature, WOMAN'S PICTURE, was filmed in October and November of 2009. It features Calpernia Addams, Amy Lavere, and Ann Magnuson in lead roles. The executive producer of WOMAN'S PICTURE is Ira Sachs. The film is currently in post production. My first novel, Troublemaker, was published in 2000. I co-edited a collection of film writing called Life As We Show It, which was released in June of 2009 by City Lights.
