Profile Information

About Me:
I am a writer, filmmaker and entrepreneur in Greensboro, NC. Married to Susan 32 fantastic years. Three wonderful children, all grown up and opinionated: Benjamin, Lucas and Roseanne. I'm an average Joe, conservative, church-going kind of guy whose wild streak rarely if ever reveals itself anymore except, perhaps, in story form. Swimming in a Lake of Fire is one of the best and wildest stories I've ever written and reflects my love of the Southern Gothic idiom, but I am planning to self publish a book of poems and stories, and a novella; all part of my own little experiment in crass self-promotion
Why I'm Interested In Movies Among Friends:
MAF is more than just a sideline interest for me. It embodies a belief in how digital media can make the media arts a more accessible, fluid and powerful medium for average Joes, like myself. By joining with friends in the process, it becomes more fun and has better energy. By joining with friends who understand story, the end results should be more successful.
How I'd Like For This Site To Help Me:
Networking, encouragement, new and deeper friendships, more and greater creative output.

Hwy 29 Business Strategy

I'm writing this for everyone who has asked about Hwy 29's start-up strategy. Our strategy currently involves four dramatic film projects: 1) "Swimming in a Lake of Fire," a feature film with a cash budget of $55k, 2) "The Hive," a web drama that will be completely self-funded (if necessary), 3) "Crier," a feature film that will also be completely self-funded, and 4) "Wrightsville," which we're hoping will be funded by healthcare sponsors ("Wrightsville" is our first health-themed movie and is a… Continue

Executive Producers Needed

Movies Among Friends and Highway 29 offer a rare opportunity to those people who aspire to become involved in the movie industry on the business side of things. The role of an "executive producer" is multi-faceted and involves an understanding of film finance, contracts, production and marketing.

If you're interested in getting involved with us as an Executive Producer, now is the time. We are putting together plans for multiple films, and we could use your help. You are not required to invest… Continue

I could probably get school credit for being on set, but I need to go through a process to inform my instructors where I'll be.

Hey Les (or somebody) - how do I change my email on here? I apparently tried to register at another time with the preferred email, but now the system's saying that that email is already registered. Is there a way to erase this email from its memory? Help? Thank you very much!

hi Les...i apologize for the delay in responding. since leaving grand ole Hollywood, I have reinvented myself in the insurance/financial services business. Additionally, I am represented by Marilyn's there in Greensboro. I would love to hear more about your plans for work that will have a direct impact on NC and its economy.
Best,
Dane

Let's talk when you get a chance tomorrow. The $20,000 is accessible... But I'll explain to you in further detail why I want final cut tomorrow.

I would like for David C. Cook (who teaches at AFI and has edited films for James Cameron and Ron Howard) to finish it. If so we will get into Sundance and we can achieve distribution almost garenteed.
