I've been hard at it over the past 12 months with my writing partner and friend David Fuller developing TV concepts with heart and soul. We're fortunate to have found an established producer/director interested in one of our shows -- our children's show -- and we're now working on developing a pitch and presentation. Mum's the word!

I've been helping Garrett Bryan out with a couple of short films for school. And in turn Garrett is helping me out. There's always something to learn no matter what set I'm on and when you have a small crew spending hours to setup a shot and they tell you "we only have enough film for one take" you'd better be on!

New Traffic Documentary

Well it's finally here! www.TrafficDocumentary.com Yet another pet project of mine. For those of you who don't live in L.A. it's hard to image an entire movie about traffic.
