From Long Island, NY.
Male, rapidly approaching 50, about 15 lbs overweight that works hard at everything he does. Mildly interested in sports and politics. Still very much in love with the same woman for over 20 years. No Children but loves kids. As do most, he finds a lot of wrong in this world but also a lot that is wonderful. Largely self-taught and versatile in many things. Can build you a house or just make you a pizza from scratch. Has been told he has a unique way of thinking and seeing things. Enjoys the sense of gratification from achieving things.
Looking to spend the remaining part of his working career with fun people that understand the process in what they do and how fun and impactful film can be.
Second generation in the business, which hasn’t made getting work ANY easier and is very thankful nothing was handed over to him everything is earned with hard work and with no short cuts. Do it the right way or don’t do it at all.
“You are only as good as your last job…”, BUT also believes its not about the last job, it’s about THIS job. Yesterday is yesterday we learn and we move forward. Its not about what has been done for others, but what can be done for you.
Not resting on past work or the “names” of people whom you have done work for. He will bring more to the table then a list and you deserve more than a list.
Let’s be honest, how true is the list and can you really get a sense of a person from that?
At this point in his career he would like to make a modest living. If your nephew can do it for half, well….then let him do it. Understands his value is hard to measure in dollars, but the years of experience and knowledge is what today’s generation doesn’t have just yet.
Whether it is social media video or a feature film, it has to be the best it can be. Meaningful and impactful is way stronger than just getting something out there because everyone else is.
In the business for over 25 years understands and has adapted to the changes that have occurred.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. If you feel this person is not a good fit for you or your company then please feel free to pass it on to someone you may think would find him to be a good fit.
Signed by someone that would really like to see him do well.
ME!
