Anyone that knows anything about me, knows that writing and filmmaking have been passions of mine for the better part of my life. I have had numerous misstarts along the way and made choices that have not always helped me in the "short run". However... As I started revamping my website (and resume/CV) I realized that I have done more than I thought.
I directed my 1st film during the Summer of 2006. It debuted on October 31st at the New Filmmakers Film Festival in NYC in 2007. However, I was never really happy with the edit and it languished until the Spring of 2010, when I was finally able to re-edit it into a cut that I like.
In June 2010, I signed up for a film competition and... the rest is history. From June '10 through July '11 - I directed 10 short films and produced 2 others. 12 films in 13 months.
From August '11 through September '12 - I have only directed one film, co-directed 2 others and produced 3 others. 6 films in 13 months. RnDES has also had films screen over 20 times at 10 different venues. RnDES also had it's 1st film to win awards at a film festival.
I have come along way in the past 28 months. I have directed 14 short films, produced over 20, my IMDb credits currently number at 35 (with many outstanding) and my company has become "award-winning".
Not so bad when you think that, had you asked me a month ago what I had accomplished as a filmmaker I might have said, "Not much.".
Have YOU accomplished more than you thought?
