Seeing is not always believing and believing is more than seeing

I love/live Art

Ever since I was a small child, I could never get enough information about things.  I would sometimes read the encyclopedia for hours as a child.  I enjoyed it, I always wanted to know more.  I wanted to build a better "big picture" of the world.  But the more I knew, the more I knew I didn't know, you know?  I know now, that while I see the "big picture" better than ever, I also see that it is so big -- infinite -- that you can/will never see all of it.  But the better and more quickly you do see a big/bigger picture of the situational topic essence, the more useful and insightful/creative information you have recall of and skill for, the more amusing, valuable and fulfilled you are.  Being and/or appearing smART -- with words and wit -- is also an art.  I love/live Art.

My Fanpage

Having a fanpage is a great way to explore, experiment and learn about social media, which is integral to the media/content business today.  I love the 'stats charts' and all the information that Facebook gathers for you.  I love information! I've always been really interested in social-media, and technology and how they impact the film/content business and my career in it, and what the information can do for you.  Since last year I've been fascinated by how social media is effecting global politics and economics.  For a content generator or Artist today, it's all about data, platforms, interfaces, knowing your audience and understanding your audience; catering to them.  Creating and selling rights or ads on/to desirable IP.  Finding your market and voice is key.  Meeting and learning from the right people.  For me, it's about being true to yourself, and telling your story.  Telling good stories, with heart, and imagination.  Connecting with people, in a real/meaningful way.  Living the dream, one like at a time.

I'm a writer

I'm a writer.

It's a skill that has allowed me to work, perform and communicate well with people.  I love to meet people, learn about people and their life, and thus about life in general.  I'm a social person, who is perfectly comfortable being alone on a Saturday night reading a book, or going to a movie alone.  Being able to write with skill, comes from having reading skills, which come from a desire to learn.  I love to learn about everything.  I learn very quickly, and often get an instant grasp of the situations, work systems and problems, and/or solutions.  I'm an outside the box thinker.  I pick up on what you are thinking and off my spin on it, helping you flesh out the best way to move forward.  This is what I do, I communicate with people and for people to make them, and me, happier and more wealthy.  I have a very broad skill set and a sharp bullsh*t meter.  I know what works and what doesn't, what is a lie and what isn't, and I can back it up with something tangible -- or I wouldn't say so.  I like to meet people in person because I like to watch them talk to me.  I learn just as much if not more about someone by watching them as I do by listening to them.  Some people think I'm intense.  I am intense, because I dig for the truth.  I look for it, and many people don't like being examined for truth.  I'm a loyal friend and a powerful ally.  I'm a passionate, discreet, efficient and innovative worker.  I'm a romantic at heart.  I'm an intellectual with my head in the clouds, looking for the answers to the questions I'm seeking to ask myself and the universe...

I subscribe to the philosophy that the universe -- the infinite and the divine -- are found in the external Universe, but also internally in our own Mind.  You can go out or you can go in, but if you go wisely you will end up in the same place...

I love Science and Art.  I love the Art of science -- MEDIA -- and the Science of Art -- HOLLYWOOD / WALL STREET -- get it?  Good.

I have always loved to read, write and think about things.  I am proud to able and am becoming increasingly willing to share my thoughts about things.  I like to be a part of the dialogue, to be heard and to make people think about things.  I'm innovative and sometimes that has the effect of rattling people's cages, or stepping on their inflated ego, when I come up with a much better idea or proposal, so sometime people don't like me.  I understand there's a pecking order, but I also have trouble standing by as money, time and effort is wasted because of someone's ego.  I'm a team player, with strong energy, positive and realistic goal making and setting skills, and a bridge-builder.  I can help translate "Creative" into "Business" and visa versa.  I'm a Media Mogul in the making... That's what I tell myself.  I like to be right.  I'm not a sore loser, I play with honor and strategy, and my endgame is a game well played, a battle of wits won, a job well done.  I aim to please, with style, finesse, skill and ease.  I walk the walk and talk the talk, and can mock, shock, or rock your world around the clock.

I'm a very private person, but I'm an open book at a well curated Art studio.  I'm secretive, mysterious, and full of surprises.  I like to be fun and interesting, and to see fun and interesting.  Confidence and intelligence are just as attractive to me as aesthetics.

I like to read and learn about every subject, from the Sciences like Physics or Chemistry, and from the Arts like performance, dance, singing, Qigong, etc.  I like to be able to speak to any topic with enough understanding of the essence of the discussion.  I have always loved words and language.  Language is also an Art form, like drawing, painting, graphic designing, it is the creation of symbols and images to convey ideas and concepts.  I love to create images and also to criticize/interpret them with words.  For me being a writer means being able to see deep into something, -- like a reporter on the front lines of the war -- you can find the core of the story and situation, and present a solution and narrative to write from.

Being a writer is also about being creative.  Finding perspective that moves or resonates with people.  Finding that undercurrent, that wave, and riding, 'hanging ten' on the proverbial surfboard and striking a cord with people.  Like in the form of a blogpost, or a TV show or movie.

I like to create and help others create.  That's why I came to Hollywood...

To let my imagination run free and make dreams come true.
