Don't Mind Me I'm New

[FrightyMcgee]

Hey there folks. Not sure if I know anyone here but I'll intro myself anyway.

My name's J. Michael Lewis, just call me "J" if you don't use my online handle. I'm out of Columbus Ohio, originally from PA. I moved locations about 10 years ago. About 5 years ago I got into making movies. Making movies is a passion of mine. I have a very deep affection for movies and have always surrounded myself with them since I was a kid. My home is filled with movie posters, movie toys, DVDs & VHS tapes (though not as many as I'd like).

I decided to take that passion and my creative side that I fed into other arts all my life and combine the two. So far it's worked out pretty well. I work with a partner [Jerod Brennen] and together we make up Tempered Zealot Productions.

All of our movies that have been finished are online and available at our website [www.temperedzealot.com] in the films section. We are currently working on ATW 3, which is the other post I made in the Indie Filmmaking section of the boards here. Jerod also has a feature he's been working on called "Dream Thirteen" which is being put together at 12 short segments shot by 12 different directors and will be combined to tell one story.

Personally I do this stuff while working freelance photography, graphics, websites, and just about anything else I can make money at. In the meantime I stay home taking care of my daughter while doing my work and the wife is away working during the day.

I'm a huge fan of horror, though with my swiss cheese brain I'm not one of those fans who knows all there is to know about every single movie ever made in the genre. But I truly love the macabre and tend to embrace that in my life. If I could live in the Adam's Family home or the Munsters' home I totally would.

I'm here to promote my stuff obviously but I also want to expand my networking base with other filmmakers and fans. I'd also like to get the info you guys share here on the boards. I totally get a kick out of you all having a thread dedicated to those who pass away. Seems like this message board keeps you informed about a great many things which is awesome!

Anyway, if you'd like drop me a line or something at my myspace or facebook (you can find the link to facebook at my myspace - www.myspace.com/twindragen)

I can't promise I'll be here daily but I'll be around.

Thanks!

- J.

Yeah, I appreciate that, too.

Welcome to the forums.

[FrightyMcgee]

Thanks for the welcome folks. I've been poking around all day. I'm hoping I can get more into the forums. It's just that most times I don't feel I've got anything significant to add. That might be a good thing. Those who are the most quiet get more attention when they speak, etc. ;)

That's not necessarily the case here. Don't be afraid to add something.

I have a sense of humor, but not so much that I'll just take straight up disrespect. Whether it's a joke or not, that's not exactly a good welcome. It's also one of the reasons people like myself come out to these places, drop off their info and bail. No one wants to stick around in a place where they're gonna get harrased.

[DraculaInDallas]

LOL....relax n00b, no one is gonna harrass you. Your panties are all in a twist,
Here's something to make you feel better.....:D

I'll give ya credit, you stuck up for yourself, showed a pair. Lighten up, it's
all in fun...........sometimes :D

[FrightyMcgee]

That's exactly the kind of crap I'm talking about. This isn't a phraternity, I'm not interested in hazing. Maybe it's you who should do the lightening up with your brand of playful banter. Here's a tip, if someone doesn't feel it's as fun as you think the you should knock it off, not keep pushing. Most times, no means no.

[DraculaInDallas]

Sounds like somebody needs the real thing.....:D

welcome to the forum n00b ;)

[FrightyMcgee]

You know. You're gonna keep going and find I can get very cranky. Is that really how you guys want to run these forums? "Let's keep poking the new bear" Turn things into something that makes this place look bad? Acting like some kind of helmet wearing 5th grader. I don't need to show the world who's the bigger phallic appendage or to fight with someone who's mommy didn't give him enough "special" attention when he was a kid.

Welcome to HDC. Now if you'll excuse me I gotta duck. ;)

Drac means no harm......notice the smiley faces. :D

[FrightyMcgee]

I appreciate that, but I'm not interested in that kind of fun. And I expect people to respect that as I would respect them. That is part of every board I've ever belonged to. No harm or not, it wasn't cool.

You have to go through a baptism of fire here sometimes... Remember, it's only a forum.... ;)

Seriously. Everyone's been through it. Get over it and start posting. You'll be accepted if you really want to post and have a dialogue with the people in this forum.

Hi. I'm new to this...so be gentle...or not.

I like horror whether its in film, in print or in video games. I am in the middle of writing a manuscript which I hope to have turned into a novel and hopefully it will not be edited to the point that it looses all of its impact.

I have a farly good collection of horror films, and non of them are B-Grade. Notable in this collection is the Remastered Exorcist, Original Grudge and Ring, 1408 and the Stanley Kubric's The Shining.

[Despare]

Welcome aboard, good luck with your stuff although... if you can't take a little innocent ribbing on an internet forum the kind of rejection that comes with the entertainment industry may kill you.

Hijacking a thread with your first post, you will go far....

[scouse mac]

The best way to avoid being flamed, dont post a Hello Im New thread and just wade on in.

Welcome to Frighty and the thread hijacker, dont be shy in saying what you think.

You've made a good start Frighty!!;)
