Shihan BIOGRAPHY

I started out behind the camera in 1984. My first movie was for Transworld Entertainment's "Pray For Death" (released 1985) with Sho Kosugi, James Booth, Michael Constantine and Parley Baer. I was the construction coordinator and in the credits as such. In 1986 I was flown to California by CineTel Films as a construction foreman on "Bullet Proof (released 1987) with Gary Busey and L. Q. Jones. I am in the credits and listed in IMDB for both movies.

My interest vary and over the years I have been a script supervisor, line producer and even an actor in commercials. I am now the Local Group Leader of IndieClub Houston.

I have always enjoyed writing and have hammered out a few scripts in the past. I just registered my first serious effort with WGA West and hope to see it in production. It's funny but at 49 I am still learning.

1st Update:

7/26/2009 - OK, I could not sell my scripts outright so I formed a production company and shot my own. Now at 52 I have written, produced and shot two featured length films. The first was on a HVX 200 and the second was shot 2K on a RED ONE. I shot "Land of the Twice Forgiven" in 2007 and "Revenant" in 2009. I was able to get Ron Becks out of LA for the lead of Revenant and am very happy with the results. My next is a romantic/comedy/drama set in foreign soil. I hope to shoot it in 2010. I start on a documentary on 7/31/2009.
