My Title

Being creative is my deepest passion. It's what drives me, motivates me, and empowers me. I've been fortunate enough to find many differently outlets for my creativity-- from directing movies, drawing comic books, writing scripts, short stories, to acting.

:: Movies ::

I love to make movies, but when people ask me if I've seen a particular new movie the answer is usually no. I love making movies, but I don't really watch a lot of movies. That's because I'm not a big fan of these commercial, generic flicks that Hollywood churns out week after week. I love to make movies as a way of telling a story with visuals to match. Reading is a dying pastime, and in it's place people are turning to movies, TV, and the Internet. What's art without an audience, so I've looked to these channels as a way to have my works seen and enjoyed.

[ Transport ]


[ about ]
The Transport follows Jack, the mysterious man in a three piece suit that will deliver anything for a price, as long as you follow his rules. Rule 1, once a deal is made-- it's final. Rule 2, he delivers to only whom you specify, nobody else. Rule 3, he is NOT to know what he is transporting. Jack carries no weapon, as he relies on his hand-to-hand combat skills, his boldness, and the safety of his car, a emerald blue 2007 Volkswagen Passat 2.0 Turbo.

Everything has been going without a hitch until he was hired by Larenzo Mian, a local Russian crime leader with a sinister plot to poison the city. Interested in Jack's rules, Larenzo decides to test them by poisoning Jack and having him transport the cure (knowing he won't open it). Close to dying, Jack has to stop Larenzo from murdering thousands all whilst finding the cure for himself-- which turns out to be Living Sea, an all-natural sea vegetable supplement.

[ Curiosity ]


[ about ]
What seemed like a victim-less crime, mushrooms into a sinister game of life and death. Fueled by curiosity and the power over life, Carson (Gustavo “Dean” Diaz) convinces his two friends, Tommy (Paul Howard) and Eric (Randy Tobin) to murder a local transient. Armed with three identical guns, two blanks, and one live bullet, they pull the trigger.

Never knowing who the true murderer is, they go their separate ways.
One year later, the three friends reconvened to reminisce of old times. Never accused of their crime, they relished in the notion that they retained their freedom. Carson, however, decides it’s time to kill again. Only this time Tommy and Eric are not going to be convinced. Forced to kill again, Eric and Tommy revolt against Carson, who anticipates their actions.

Infuriated, and losing his grip on reality, Carson chains his friends up in Tommy’s bathroom. What ensues is a dramatic and intense fight for their life. Dark, Gritty, and Powerful, Curiosity is sure to be something unlike any other.

:: TV Shows ::

Movies are my prime passion because they tell one self contained story that has a clear resolution, but TV (or episodic programming as I mean by it) is like a telling a continuous story where you can really delve into several characters and the world they live in. The shows I most want to make are 'Don't Advertise' and an 'Executer Show.'

[ Don't Advertise ]


[ about ]
The Van is a situation comedy about five people who work for EyeJim Productions. EyeJim was founded by Gustavo Diaz who later partnered with Mike Macko. Together they've yet to decide on a direction for their company. Along for the ride is Audrey the Vice President, Logan the salesman, and Tramothy the resident IT guy. As they take on new business ventures they frequently met up with their accountant, Bob E. Vermucelli.

[ Truth About You ]


[ about ]
The Truth About You opens your mind about life, politics, big businesses, food, health, and everything else in between. It’s a show that uncovers the dirty secrets about our government, sheds light on misunderstood topics such as the dangers of our diet, and offers simple but relatively unknown tips on improving your life, mood, and longevity. With our host Sam Ford, he takes what could be boring or drab and revitalizes them with modern-day thinking, clear and concise on-screen illustrations, and offers a comedic undertone with his witty and intelligent humor.

[ Helix Project ]


[ about ]
Helix Project is the story I've spent almost my entire life on. Me and my best friend Jason Graybill created it in 2nd grade, (circa 1990). It's a story about super soldiers in the year 2502 to have to face off against a crooked government agency, competing super soldier villains, all while laying low, working jobs and trying to 'normal' citizens.
