About Me:
Started acting in the late seventies. Made his first film at 12 years old. Worked in front of the camera until 1990, at which point he got married, got a "real" job, and embarked on a life as a software development executive. After three successful companies and more than two dozen products, Jon realized he missed the creativity in his life. He went back to film, this time behind the camera.

It started as just an outlet, a hobby, but Jon kept learning. He wrote, he directed, he created. After dozens of short films (his and those of others) and four features (someone else's), Jon got the ultimatum: "Make another short film and I kill you."

Well, that was motivation enough.

CONTEST: August 3rd Screewriters Meeting

August 3, 2009 will be our next monthly meeting. The best way to learn is by participating and watching others so, to that end we will be having a contest.

Come out and pitch a story to the camera. Yes, we will have a camera setup and we want you to pitch to the camera. Then we'll turn the camera off and give feedback.

Each pitch will then be uploaded online and we'll let the membership vote. The top pitches will then be judged by our panel and prizes (to still be named) will be given out to t… Continue

Let's make a deal!

Sometimes it feels like Monty Hall is right up there asking me to make a deal, but I'm not going for what's behind the next curtain. Let's just open one and be done with it. Why does everyone want to play games?

Make the offer, let's stick with the offer, and let's move on to getting something done.

In the meantime we're trying to make deals to keep money coming in the door so, here we are.

Just finished the New Media project for Alex Arndt, "My Innocence Begins Today". Directed by Kevin Phip… Continue

Sunburn's fine, thanks. Aloe vera gel always fixes me right up. :O) Already looking forward to assisting Kevin on his 3/21-3/22 music video shoot and whatever happens next! FYI, I was on the fence about whether to check out FLE's At Best Derivative premiere this Friday until I spotted your cameo in the trailer. I'll be there! LOL

Jon: Thank you for the guidance you provided at last September's IFP Screenwriting Workshop and for recruiting P.A.'s at last month's P.A. Workshop. It has been a genuine privilege for me to serve as Key P.A. for your StarQuest production and I sincerely hope I'll have the opportunity to work on one of your future projects. I wish you continued success until then (especially on The Evil Dead Breakfast Club as I am a big zombie fan). :O)

Jon, William (Bill) Connor here! Enjoyed veiwing your page. Excellent work you have done! Would love to be involved in a production with you, if the karma is right! I love what we do! Had a blast making a commercial yesterday for "Auction Systems" to be aired locally in the near future! I put some pics from it on filmixer already and will do the same here soon. Hope all is great with you and look forward to the day we can meet! Bill

Hey, Jon.

It's been a while, way too long really. I've got a hundred excuses, but what the heck! Seize the day!

I wanted to let you know that I'm doing Henry Drummond in "Inherit the Wind" at the Fountain Hills Theater. I've been waiting years to do this role. Looks to be a great show and I'd love to have you see it. Run dates are Thurs. through Sun., Nov. 7th through the 23rd (with a possible extension). I'd also like to talk to you about shooting a 3 to 5 minute scene from the play to add to my Website. Let me know what you think.

Hope all is going famously for you. Let me know what's been happening lately. I feel terribly out of the loop these days . . .

Michael

You are right Jon! There are still a few of us here. Actually, several of us had a nice reunion in San Diego at Comic-Con. Funny, we see each other every year in San Diego, but we all live in Phoenix! Had a good laugh about that one :)
