Saska, your a total riot. Im back from 3 years in London & Dubai, out of my current industry for now (planning islands) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozvvIX187T8
Im curios to learn more about your first film project. As a big fan of digital film, ‘a want to be film maker’, interested in how technology is changing things. Im curios if I can help someone with a good cause. Im not the bank, but have several friends in that category. I was raised in Monterey, married, live in Chicago, studied Anthro at UCSC, surf, old guy looking for a meaningful avocation. Ciao.
Hey Philip– Thanks for your interest. I’ll drop you an email.
