finding my marbles films. founder
film is such a powerful tool of communication. it is a form of escape and a window into someone’s world view. my films are a way for me to unleash all of the pent up constantly moving thoughts in my head. i think i may be somewhat crazy—everything around me looks like a scene, a shot, a perfect line. another constant in my life is the finding of marbles. everywhere i go i find them or they find me. universe magic! so i continue moving forward finding my marbles and creating art... as long as i have my two loves - films and friends - i am in heaven.
the search party. executive director
i graduated from film school and immediately moved to los angeles to try and “make it big”. i worked on a few commercials and a few television shows but not a single film. i knocked on doors, tried all of my connections, and applied for any job available on a film set. i was starving for creative like-minded people to share ideas with and work collaboratively with. blind from living life in l.a. i got the opportunity to move back to austin where i grew up and have always felt comfortable. as soon as i arrived back in austin my creative world changed as the city is alive with artistic and exciting people. i have searched for so long for friends that are just as passionate about their art as i am—the search has proved fruitful. thank you search party for saving my life!!!
