I'm a independent film producer and director currently working on my first feature film entitled Valley of the Sun. I've come up with an off-the-wall way to finance the film. Have your heard of the Million Pixels Guy? Well, I basically took his idea and tailored it towards independent film financing. Its based on the old content sponsorship model... sell advertising, create content. Just like the networks. Please check it out and if you are so inclined, by a PIXEL. http://www.valleyofthesunthemovie.com

I'm a commercial film director, motion picture director, and video director. I direct commercials, branding films, music videos, and feature films. Unsu Lee and I started Hotbed Media, Inc. in 1997. In 2003, I opened up a subsidiary, Hotbed, LLC, to focus on creating, producing, directing, and editing commercials and branding films for clients. We've worked with FCB, The Gap, Sony, Comcast, Avaya, Genentech, Identix, Amgen, and Check Point Software. Hotbed Inc. has also produced two feature films and is in development on a third. Our first two features, Happily Even After and Confessions of a Burningman, directed by Unsu Lee, are available for purchase on the Internet. Happily Even After stars Jason Behr.

I develop and direct ideas for film projects that support our client's strategic initiatives and carry those ideas through post-production. I'm a filmmaker at heart. My passion is to tell stories. Film is my medium.

I'm looking for companies that want to build their brand using the medium of motion picture. Today, the Internet allows every company to be its own broadcast station. Every company should have motion picture content on their website to support their brand and build lasting relationships with their customers. I want to help companies do that.

I've also worked directly with companies to write and direct branding films that kick off tradeshows, launch new products, and support general branding initiatives.
