I've been a writer all my life. Fiction and nonfiction. Started doing film reviews at about age 45. Started screenwriting at age 50. Won some awards. Started making my own Indie films at age 54. Made about 30 films, including eight Features, over the course of 17 years. Also worked as an actor in other people's films, and on stage. I'm now retired from producing, directing and acting. But I still write, and I'm still promoting and finding outlets for my existing films.
