John credits his acute sense of color and light to being flung from the back of a speeding pick-up
truck at the tender age of thirteen. When he regained consciousness, he knew he wanted to be a
filmmaker. He accepted his first film award at the age of eighteen from AFI. He went to film school, worked some crappy jobs, and went back to film school again. Then John wrote and directed SONGBIRD. The short screened at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival and gained a great deal of attention. Theatrical distribution was discussed with the Weinsteins and John signed on with Luber Roklin Entertainment and Endeavor. Later that year, John won the Heineken Music Video Competition and was awarded the opportunity to direct a music video for international rock star Rocco Deluca, the leading artist under Kiefer Sutherland’s label Iron Works. Most recently, John was a finalist in the Coca-Cola Refreshing Filmmaker’s Competition with his project THE REPORT. John is developing several interesting projects and praying that he never has to deliver pizzas again. |
