[edit] Who I Am...
I'm a screenwriter, filmmaker and artist. All my credits to date are for rewrites on really terrible horror films, but don't hold that against me.
I'm currently writing psychological thrillers, including an adaptation of Alice Blanchard's “The Breathtaker” and an original screenplay “Blackwell’s Island,” based on an article by Nellie Bly.
I graduated from Brown University, with a double major in pure mathematics and studio art. I continued at USC School of Cinema-Television, graduating in 1997 with an MFA in production.
I'm interested in film aesthetics, but also a range of other subjects from consciousness studies to contemporary literature. I'm hoping that there will be a variety of ways I can contribute to the Wikipedia project.

[edit] Rob Nilsson
Rob Nilsson, a San Francisco based director, won the Camera d'Or at Cannes for NORTHERN LIGHTS and the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival for HEAT AND SUNLIGHT. He is the first American film director to have won both awards.
Nilsson is a pioneer in the techniques of video to film transfer which led to today's digital revolution. In 1985 SIGNAL 7 was the first small format video feature to be blown up to film and distributed around the world.
Nilsson is currently at work on the 9@Night film series--a unique cycle of street level dramatic feature films about the lives of 50 inner city characters. These 9@Night films are cast from the Tenderloin yGroup (formerly the Tenderloin Action Group), an acting workshop for homeless, inner city residents and professional actors now in its eleventh year.
The 9@Night Project brings together four critical ingredients:
An aesthetic based on Direct Action Cinema, a method of creating drama from character and circumstance seeking emotional depth and street level authenticity.
The Tenderloin yGroup, an ensemble of committed actors forged from eleven years of work in the streets of San Francisco's Tenderloin.
Digital technology for the production, marketing, distribution, and exhibition of high quality feature films at a fraction of industry costs.
A more efficiently produced and personally meaningful cinema that speaks from the human heart.
