Before film, my first love was theatre. After moving to New York, I produced & directed dinner theatre and ran an off-off Broadway company.
I found work as a still photographer, eventually moving to film sets as an assistant cameraman, then slowly inching toward production. I joined DGA as an assistant director, moved to production managing and finally came full circle, upgrading my membership to Director.
My latest project was the three-part, federally-funded PBS series, The Writing Code, detailing the history and future of writing. We're now raising funding for Part Four (The Digital Revolution) and Part Five (The Power of the Pen).
Along the way, I began to teach the skills I'd learned. I now offer public classes and private consultations at http://www.reelgrok.com/classes.cfm
