Those are the nitty-gritties of my credits to date. Keep reading if you want the personal info, too.

I graduated high school early to join the United States Marine Corps, ended up stationed and staying in California. That was a lifetime ago. I've since moved on as a published author and have shifted into film making. I'm not a believer in luck. I'd rather get my happy ass out there and make my own. More than anything, I lead my productions and projects with the same passion and care that I did in the Marines. I'm the Director who checks on how the PA is doing to make sure he's okay. I'm the Executive Producer that reads the Director and plays the buffer, gives a hug or a swift kick in the ass- if needed. I am the guy waving his hands around because I can't help being animated, loud, and fun.

I'm wrapping this up before it starts to come across as an online dating profile... "Dashingly handsome, incredibly humble creative seeking career advancement in film" seems to be dripping with desperation.

All the best.

Unique traits: I speak with a southern twang. More fatigue yields more twang.

Credits

Of A Grateful Nation (2016 - 2017)
Film (short) by BeerBackwards Films/Adam Reeb Writer/Executive Producer The pain and angst of demise, and the downward spiral of PTSD, is often dismissed by the masses because it is a path walked alone. No one is present to witness the internal battle. No one is there when it happens. No one is around to beg someone to stop. Of a Grateful Nation... puts the reality of veteran suicides, and the throes of PTSD, to the forefront of the American mind. Of a Grateful Nation is about a man- once a hero, and now a broken spirit- spiraling out of control. Self-medicating with prescription pills and alcohol, a young man- back from a world of war- is unable to cope with a time of peace. He is alone, drugged, drunk, and armed. No one is with him. No one is there to stop him. He is left feeling the abandonment and true separation from the people and the nation he served. This is the reality that an average of 22 veterans face every day; the reality that Of A Grateful Nation... forces the world to see.
