although I've started posting, I've failed to introduce my self.

I'm a.... well.. right now, I'm nothing.
Nothing, that is, but a guy with dreams, with vision, and a deep un-quenched thirst to learn everything about this art.

I'll be moving to the LA area this fall to study film production. Hopefully at Chapman. If not, at a community college for a year, and then a transfer to a 4-year college.

I've never (well, hardly ever) handled a camera before, but I can write like 1000 monkeys in 1000 years never could. And I've got some weird thing in my brain that tells me what the pictures should be like. I think I have a sensibility for film-making and I think sooner or later, I'm gonna be making good films.

So, hello all, thanks for being here, nice meetin' y'all.

cheers
