Introduction | Born in the crater of a live volcano, on the planet Mars. I'm able to work without sleep for more than a week, food for more than a month, water for a week, and air for about four minutes. If the paycheck bounces, I'm outta there, but I do freebies sometimes, if the script is good, and the project is interesting. I've attended the Academy Awards 17 times, and the Grammy Awards twice. I've worked on a bunch of big-budget Hollywood movies, and have very few screen credits. (I usually work on doomed movies, past their time and budget, their credits are already allocated.) Not in ImDb, yes I know. I don't care, paycheck please. I've worked on several movies that were nominated for an Oscar, and one winner. Mostly in visual effects, but lots of other jobs. Focused on Producing and Directing. Worked on your favorite Hollywood movies. Making my movies now. |

Never mind the turtle. Don't you think you're sure to win?
Only if I focus, and don't let myself get distracted. Cameras with motors, that wind up with springs, these are a few of my favorite things.
