Aspiration
I would one day love to direct my own writting, but wouldn't every one. Well I will. Right now I am content to do make up, and do what ever I can to add to my resume'. As it stands right now I am a fabulous grip, a pretty darned good Gaffer, and not a bad DP. Oh I also do make up, And aam told I am pretty darned good, but if you hire me for make up I would like the chance to grip or gaff or shoot as well. ** When doing make up I like to work closely with the DP to acheive optimum angle and shot size for the effect** My Asperation is really to one day make my Epic Sci-fi - Fantasy - horror trilogy. Picture A Star Wars - Alien - Evil dead type thing. Tah!
