Music
Check out the song above. Joanne Ramsey is a very talented woman in the UK. Part of this track is featured in my upcoming short film, "Rubble".
I listen to a lot of classical music. Mozart is my favorite, but I love Sibelius too. I try to keep up with new music, but there's so much of it. :)

Don't watch it... At all. OK sometimes I'll hook up the rabbit ears (I am not kidding) and catch the BBC and Newshour on PBS.
Check out this GEM from Keith Olbermann!

Independent Female Filmmaker in Ohio- so even though it says Director above, I know how to do many things. :) Specifically; Script Sup., Wardrobe/Make-up, Costume design & Construction, First AD, Produce... You get the idea.
About me: Pushing every day to have the life I imagine. The life I imagine? Working in film every day and being paid a living wage to do so. Not so easy, especially in Ohio. It can be done though. I have faith.
I have directed 3 short films. "Twenty First Century" (Winner Best Film, Sanseveria Film Fest. 2005), "Killer Squirrel" and "Rubble". "Rubble" and "Killer Squirrel" are making their way onto the festival circuit. They've already screened at Look At My Shorts III and III Pt. II.
I love to learn, about anything! I can be a voracious reader. I ADORE FILM AND THEATER, and spend as much time as possible in those venues. I am also the founder and Artistic Director of The Lakespeare Theatre Festival.
I am very proud of the fact that I have a profile at IMDB, and I didn't create it for myself- it's from work I've done on other people's films.
Currently, I am producing a martial arts genre feature with Johnny K. Wu ("The Rapture") and am in the very early stages of pre-production on my first feature as director.
I am also a devoted wife to my producing partner and actor, Chandler "The Wallet" Chapman and the best mom I can be to our daughter.
Who I'd like to meet: Film geeks of all types. People who push the envelope.
Hey sweetie! This is one of my more recent Lead roles, a very emotional climatic ending to the film, Incredible Fire. I hope you enjoy it! Danny Hayden
Lilith sips a glass of red wine, while eyeing a glamorous crowd of dancers showing their moves. Several eclectic friends surround her on a large couch.
Just wanted to let you know that I did not have time to get a new haircut this week and so I didn't get new color either. I expected to have friday morning off, but it did not work out that way.
Hear you're under the weather. Missed you at the theater, but rest assured, Joseph and I kept all things under control--even Macavaty's hood and recostuming Tugger's feet to camouflage his giant cast! Get well ASAP and see you soon.
