What music you like?

I enjoy a wide variety of music. I like Rock, Pop, New Wave, Heavy Metal and almost anything from the 1980's.

What Horror movie you like?

My favorite horror movie is the 1984 classic A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Another movie you like?

I'll give you a few more favorites - Carnival of Souls, Demons, Dead/Alive, Halloween (the original version), Chopping Mall, the Friday the 13th movies, and Wes Craven's New Nightmare.

What you wach too the tv?

I don't watch much television. When I do it's usually The Simpsons or 80's/90's horror shows on DVD, such as Friday the 13th The Series, The X-Files and Millennium. I also like to watch The Celebrity Apprentice because the boardroom is so intense!

What book you read?

Authors such as Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Dan Simmons and Melanie Tem are among my favorites. I'm also interested in almost anything related to horror cinema or filmmaking. Some favorite books are: Men, Women And Chain Saws: Gender in the Modern Horror Film by Carol J. Clover, Terror and everyday life by Jonathan Lake Crane, Scare Tactics by John Russo, and Feature Filmmaking at Used-Car Prices by Rick Schmidt. I'm currently reading the old Stephen King book Danse Macabre.

A litte thing about you?

I love showing my movies to audiences and seeing how people react. It makes all the hard work that indie filmmaking entails worthwhile.

What food you like?

I like a good steak and I'm big into buffets.

What drink you like?

Iced Tea and Strawberry Lemonade.

What you love too do?

Besides producing my own movies I also enjoy organizing and participating in live events. I've been involved in promoting filmmaking in my area for many years by organizing events such as 1999's Area Filmmakers Fantastic Film Festival, 2003's Shocktoberfest, The 2005 Dead of Winter Free Film Festival, The 2006 Independent Film Festival, and the 2007 Night Of B-Movie Indies show in Albany, NY. Pictures from many of these events are on my website. I also always enjoy doing acting gigs - the acting bug never goes away!

Will you tell anything too the Swedish people?

Hello and Best Wishes to everybody!

What did you hope for the 2010?

I hope things will get better for people in 2010. I know last year was rough in many ways, but I believe things can only go up. On a personal level I hope to be busy artistically in the new year.

Did you do any movie now?

I am currently producing a new independent horror feature called DIE LAUGHING. It's an anthology which will have four or five separate horror stories in it. As of this month (January, 2010) we have already filmed the first two stories and are preparing to begin on the third.

What horror movie you have do?

I've produced and directed many movies over the years. My most recent feature was the action/horror movie THE TEMPTRESS, and my most recent short film was the comedy OF THEATRE & BIKINIS, both produced entirely in the Capital Region of Upstate New York. In addition to my own directorial projects, I served as Associate Producer & Editor on movies produced by other area filmmakers, including the features THE EDGE OF REALITY, LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT and Bruce G. Hallenbeck's THE DROWNED. I was also featured in the independent documentary EVERY PIXEL TELLS A STORY from Albany Times Union writer Peter Hanson, which includes interviews with several leading Capital Region filmmakers shooting in the groundbreaking digital video format.
