Begin When You’re Ready
A confession: One night in the mid-90’s two friends and I smashed the screen of a huge TV with a fence post in the back of a Burger King parking lot. We filmed it.
Environmentally speaking, I wouldn’t recommend it, but a start’s a start.
Grew up north of Boston. Based in NYC. I believe in 2nd acts. I love telling stories that’re smart and, like Aristotle said, make you laugh and cry as hard as possible, stories that make a damn difference. And have a blast in the process.
I also love people. If you want, between takes, we could change it all over diner coffee.
