John's Story

Life Dear freinds, Well, I'm currently working on my 22nd year in Los Angeles working on movies, TV, commercials, and music videos. I still own property in Bloomington, but I don't go there that often. I'm also looking to buy more property in Nashville, maybe I'll retire there someday. My entire family still lives in Indiana, I'm the only one that left and never came back, well I come back at Christmas and sometimes once in the summertime. My daughter lives in South Carolina, she has 3 great kids, (yeah baby call me gramps!) and I go see them sometimes, she is very happy there. Ok well I was married twice, currently I'm back to being single, although I still have my share of gf's here and there, but nothing serious right now. I'm in the Directors Guild of America as an assistant director, I joined in 1993, so I'll be vested in the guild in 2013, hopefully I'll retire then, maybe I'll live back home but I might go to Hawaii. Your gonna ask what does an assistant director do?? We schedule the movie, run the set, run the crew, work with the actors, set the background extras, do all the paperwork, we are the first ones there and the last ones to leave, my days are usually 15 to 18 hours, plus driving, so I get around 4-5 hours of sleep each night. Most recent movies I have worked on are "Canvas" a little film with Marcia Gay Harden and Joe Pantoliano, I worked on a TV show called "The Loop" for Fox. Other movies (good and bad ones) are Lethal Weapon 4, Under Siege 2, Speed 2 (really bad one, 8 months of hell), Spiderman, Swordfish, The Chamber, hmm you can just look me up on IMDB to get the rest. I might be doing a movie in the summer that shoots in New Orleans, Florida and Ireland. I play golf when I'm not working, I've been to St Andrews in Scotland and played the old course, been to Pebble Beach many times, and well my game hasn't changed since I took it up at IU, around a 12 handicap, sometimes bett...Expand for more
er, most times worse. I've been to London, New Zealand, Mexico, France, Spain, Italy, Austria, Guatemala, French West Indies, and a few other places, would like to see more. I'm still working on a screenplay about Indiana back in the 70's, been working on it forever, I would like to direct it one day in Indiana, probably around Spencer or Gosport, the title is "Gnaw Bone", only because I like that name a lot and my Dad lives there now, it's just outside of Nashville, in Brown County. I did go to the reunion last summer, saw a lot of great people, it's funny how the groups still handg out together even at the reunions, wish I could have seen more people show up, and I would love to get the group photo I was printing out for everyone emailed to me!! Anyone that wants to talk can email me through this network, if I'm on location sometimes it takes a while for me to answer, but I'll always get back to you. I do feel I have done a lot in my career, still a lot to learn and experience, and a lot more people to meet in my travels. If I'm still kicking in 2010 I'll come to the reunion!! Update: June 2007; Well, I did sell my Bloomington property, bought a house in Nashville on 8 acres, about to celebrate the one year anniversary of that property, I did turn 50 on June 20th...Yeee Haaa! Workplace Finished a movie last August called "Canvas" with Marcia Gay Harden and Joe Pantoliano, we shot it in Florida, a small movie about a family dealing with the sudden mental changes of a mother, and how the family deals with it. Hopefully it will be released as a feature film, but there is no deal with any major studio yet, it will go through the festival circuit this year and I hope everyone has a chance to see it. Update: June 2007, I was working on the tv show "Shark" last season at 20th Century Fox (airs on CBS on Thursdays), I loved it. They are about to start up season 2 and I might go back to that.
