Mr. Edward [Getting Started » Getting Started]

Movies had been a big part of my life since I was a little kid. But it wasn't until about my freshman year in college that I knew for sure that film making was what I wanted to do.
I've been a laid back person through most of my life. Not many things bother me except idiocy, ignorance, and incompetence. I've always been a nice and fair guy. I love puzzles as a mental stimulation.
I would love the films I make to have a puzzle aspect to them and show something on screen that's never been seen before. I hope to make all of my dreams come true.

Recommended Reading

This book is excellent! Me and You and Memento and Fargo takes a hard look at the quality American indepedent films that have emerged over the past 25 years and highlights the elements of their screenplays make them so great. Such chapters include "The Ambivalent Protagonist in Stranger Than Paradise", "The Flashback Structure of Reservoir Dogs", "Memento as Puzzle Film", and "The Character-Based Structure of Slacker". The author puts an emphasis on the originality of ideas - have to say, I agree with him! The full contents page is on Amazon.com - I really can't recommend this book highly enough.
