The Dream

Ever Since I read "Theories of Relativity" by Barbara Haworth-Attard and every other opportunity I've gotten to express my creative emotions the thought of being a film director/editor is becoming a dream that WILL come true. I don't want to become a film director/editor because of the fame I might receive of the money I might get but I want to be in the film industry to effect people with my work and I want to make a difference. My goal when I DO become a film director/editor is to hopefully positively change people's perspectives on some aspects of life. I would like to show people that some stereotypes are wrong and I want them to start to think outside the box.

Prince Of Persia


Prince of Persia was an good game, and an amazing movie...It had everything from romance to betrayal to action. In my opinion it is one of the better now-a-day movies I've seen in a long time. I was skeptical of Jake Gyllenhaal playing the main character because I have never taken him seriously since I saw him in "The Bubble Boy". I simply never though he was mature enough for the role. But I was pleasantly mistaken because he did a great job and really fit the role of Dastan. The storyline was very well thought out because it took some sudden turns and kept me guessing which I find rare in movies these days. Normally I have found that movies these days are easy to predict but this was a refreshing change. Now with every action movie it is followed by a video game based of the movie. But in this case it doesn't really make any sense because the movie was made based from a video game, so it makes no sense to make a video game that is based from a movie that is based from a video game.

Killer Party



Here is the short film I made at G.I.F.T.S this past summer.

A party dies down after a serial killer crashes the scene. There is only one man who has survived.....for now. The killer is the loose and one hopeless man oblivious that his life in danger. This man turns out to be the killer's worst nightmare. Will killer get the satisfaction and terminate his target or will the man escape the killer grasp? I hope you enjoy my movie :)

Just a little note...There is a 10 second time period at the beginning where there is just blackness...so don't worry it will start just wait a couple of seconds.

OMG It's An Alien Invasion


From all the alien movies now-a-days I've seen, ever single one of them wreck their movie. I don't what it is, I just dislike aliens in movies and I don't believe they help their movies, i think they make them worst. For example...Indiana Jones was a great trilogy it had everything from romance to action. When I heard there was going to be a forth I was excited because I fell in love with the first 3 movies. Yes it might have been hard to recreate a film that was done in the past, and getting all the same actors again...But come on... the ending SUCKED, aliens aren't the solution for a movie it's a problem. It was a great trilogy gone down the drain due to little people from "another" planet. Also when it comes to unnatural happenings keep it ghosts and spirits because they make it creepier and a better story. If you choose to make aliens your unnatural source you are setting your movie up for failure. A good example for that is "The Knowing" starring Nicholas Cage. In his career he has done some amazing work but I guess every actor has their one disappointing movie that they are apart of. It was a great movie except for the REALLY REALLY BAD ending it wrecked the whole movie. What I'm saying is that aliens need to stay in outer-space and stay out of our movies!
