Whenever You’re Ready
A confession: One night in the late-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 rip your soul out and put it back better, stories that bring you back to life. And having a blast in the process.
I really do love people. If you want, between takes, we could change it all over diner coffee.
