Hi, everybody! :)
I'm a 52-year-old Scottish/Welsh cineaste/film directing
wanna-be currently living in Las Cruces, NM, USA.
I don't have any formal film education other than two
16mm film production classes at a junior college in 1974.
I've worked on four non-union feature films and five
independent 16mm films produced in Tucson, AZ in the mid
1980s.
I started getting involved in the film culture of the
internet in the summer of 1995.
In terms of film theory/aestetics/philosophy, my primary
influence has been Andre Bazin.
I have some short extemporaneous film theory/analysis
essays on the web at the Study of Film As Internet Application
(SOFIA) in the UK:
1. Cinematic Pet Peeves: The "Normal" Lens (9/16/96):

2. Marathon vs Homicide: The Current Impasse In Camera
Mounting Systems and Film Language (9/16/96):
http://homepages.unl.ac.uk/sofia/essay/marathon.html
3. Post Production (9/16/96):
http://homepages.unl.ac.uk/sofia/essay/postprod.html
4. The Non-Transparency of Mainstream Film Practice (10/3/96):
http://homepages.unl.ac.uk/sofia/essay/nontrans.html
I'm currently working on an essay (Cinephilia and/or
Cinematic Specificity) for the Senses of Cinema
online film journal in Australia, and hope to be contributing
more essays there later this summer.
Thanks for your time and attention, and I hope to enjoy
participating in this mailing list! :)
