- About Me:
- I have been working in props and set dressing for 12 years and have worked with Robert Altman, Martin Scorcese, the Farrelly Brothers, David Mamet, and numerous other directors. Films I have recently worked on include GONE BABY GONE, DAN IN REAL LIFE, 27 DRESSES, PINK PANTHER 2, SURROGATES, AND EDGE OF DARKNESS.
I wrote and co-directed a short film called THE TERROR OF THE INVISIBLE MAN that played at 28 film festivals and was bought by the Independent Film Channel. Last year I produced the feature WOODPECKER directed by Alex Karpovsky which premiered at the SXSW Film Festival and has played at over 20 festivals so far and received great reviews from Variety among others.
I am also the Program Director of the Independent Film Festival of Boston which takes place every April at the Somerville Theatre, the Brattle Theatre, Coolidge Corner Theatre, and as of this year, the ICA. 2009 marks our seventh anniversary.

- Current filmmaking concerns:
- I recently produced a feature film called WOODPECKER directed by Alex Karpovsky (named to Filmmaker Magazine's "25 filmmakers to watch" 2006) which premiered at the SXSW Film Festival in 2008 and is still playing the festival circuit looking for the right distributor. Also working on the 2009 Independent Film Festival of Boston and just finished On-Set Dressing the Mel Gibson / Ray Winstone/ Danny Huston thriller EDGE OF DARKNESS.
- Television --the papers say its the golden age- you agree (or you don't!) because you watch.....
