- About Me
- I am an independent filmmaker from West Point, MS and a recent graduate in film from the University of Southern Mississippi. I hope to begin a career as a camera assistant and focus puller with the desire to be a cinematographer later in my career.
I'm the administrator of this site (like Tom on Myspace) So if you need anything just let me know. I'm here to help you with anything you need pertaining to the indie film community in MS. If you need help promoting your new film, need resources, etc contact me. I can post or send out special announcements for anything you may need to get the word out about. Also, if you have a new film in production, a screening event, or anything else, let me know, and I'll feature it on the website.
I will strive to keep you informed and involved with the indie film community of MS and help you in any way I can!

Update March 9th 09
Its been a very long time since I've posted anything so I thought I should. Last time I posted I mentioned that I was planning to have my new film Parted finished by January. Well It was pretty much finished in Jan. but I didn't have all all the finishing touches in place until yesterday. Parted will have its world premier at the Crossroads film festival in early April. I had to have the finished film and sent to them by this week so I was forced to make all the final changes. So Parted is final… Continue

"Parted" nearing completion.
Parted is nearing completion. Yesterday, we did some much needed ADR, and now the film is really coming together. All the film lacks is a few extra sound elements, the original score by Kevin Holdiness, and final audio tweaking. I hope to have the film finished by the end of January. At the bottom of this post i've added the posters for the film for you to check out. I can't wait to have this film completed so that I can finally see the finished product and be able to start on my next pro… Continue

thanks, deb
I didn't realize Pose Down "got around."
My character wasn't too nice in that film,
but I LOVED being her!!! The "not nicer"
the better for me. Have you seen me as
Helldam in a Beowulf film yet? Still photos
of her are available.
I'm excited about Beyond the Forest.
Maybe a premiere next month?, and I plan
on being there (whenever it is).
Keep me posted, and glad Courtney (a daughter)
got to meet you too.

It had good storytelling, good acting, it was beautifully shot and it left me profoundly depressed. The depression part was even worse cause it played last before the break and so there was nothing immediately afterward to engross me and make me forget about it.
Fantastic job!
