I'm still so new in this business, I often wonder why I am trying to travel at the speed of light.
I was just trying to keep my mind occupied when my girlfriend went to Iraq for 1 1/2 years. Now 1 1/2 years later,  I wonder how I got over 35,000 people to look at my Youtube videos so far. 2,000 hits every 10 days lately. What am I doing that anybody else can't do?
My equipment is cheap, I make stuff like steadycams and lights not because I can, but because I have to.I'm just another poor slob trying to make his mark in this world.
What then?

The main answer for me is 'networking'. Getting out and passing out business cards when I do a live band. After just a year doing it on the side from my remodeling day job, I could've started a business out of it if I wanted, but I don't. The runner up main answer is my passion to create.
After doing a couple interviews, just one lip-sync video, and a couple non-music related videos, I started feeling a new person in me screaming to get out.
"This is what I want to do when I grow up!" But I am grown up. Half a friggin' century grown up. In fact, life seems to be whizzing by me at the speed of light, instead of the other way around.

Maybe that's the answer. I'm feeling the sand running out of the hourglass and therefore trying NOT to be a poor slob when the house lights go down for the last time. I read something in the preface of a music- related paperback years ago that said something like," Great musicians are a dime a dozen. What separates them from the pack is persistence and determination". I've found that to be true now, as I try to become a filmmaker. Lately I am making progress by leaps and bounds and I think it's merely because I quit having so much fun screwing around with art and music for years(make that decades)and instead started to really focus on the brass ring that's been going by me all this time. The creativity I have coming out my south end.The problem was I lacked the persistence and determination.

Whatever the reason, I have it now, and am having the time of my life. On Thursday July 29th, I shoot my first self-written,cast,produced,directed music video involving 12 actors and models(wait till you see this thing!)for a guy who is being courted by Capitol Records AND Warner Bros. Seems I got my hooks into a big fish, and by golly it's gonna be good eating if I have anything to do with it, and I do. Wow...I do. Somewhere out there momma's proud.

Hi everyone,

It's been a long time since I've considered production.  Even in through film school, I had pretty much dedicated myself to video editing.  It's where I'm most passionate and more at home.  Production just stressed me out so much, almost to the point where I didn't have any fun on the set. 
As I've grown, I've learned to de-stress and have fun on the set, and realized that I do a decent bit of directing.  Still I gave it up a while ago, and focused on Post-Production.  Well now it looks like I might be diving right back into it.

With a shorter announcement regarding Primal FX's Cthulhu Key: Legacy, I'm proud to say that I've heard who has been cast in film (besides myself that is). The cast is as follows: Kharma Jones - Bianca Barnett Trent Tomingo - Jarod Warren Castro - Joshua Moreno The Entity - Kristen Hall Angell - Angela Owen Tenebris - Amy Echols High Clara - Sara Songer Detective - Jane Ayers Judi Nance - Kitsie Duncan The Governor - Monique Dupree Noah - Brandon Noack Director Alberts - Grady Mack Dr Dyer - Stephanie Kelley Mill - Floyd Miller Christie - Christie Nickels Senator Frazier - Duane Frazier Senator Winsor - Jonathan Winsor Eyewitness - Doris Ireland Duncan Jr.- Demetrios Simos So glad to have names to go with all of these parts and I'm really looking forward to working with all of them, or at least the ones that appear in the scenes I'm in. Should be an intense process. Several of these actors hail from either Los Angeles or New York, so it'll be interesting to see the different regional mentalities all at work together. Stay tuned! -Jarod

We recently got the first 22 pages of the script in which gives a good look at what will be happening as the characters are introduced and the entire story is set up.
