I live in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, New York. For the past ten years I’ve worked in the Consumer Marketing department of HBO as a web developer. I’ve taken my blog offline for awhile, so right now it is just a link to my facebook page: http://www.colorfulfilms.com

I grew up in North Carolina and studied film and art history at the University of North Carolina and San Francisco State University. Two of my favorite teachers: Carol Mavor (see her wonderful recent book “Reading Boyishly: Roland Barthes, J. M. Barrie, Jacques Henri Lartigue, Marcel Proust, and D. W. Winnicott”) and Trinh T. Minh-ha (“Woman, Native, Other: Writing Postcoloniality and Feminism.”)

In the late 1980s I did miscellaneous film crew work in Wilmington, NC at what was then DEG (DeLaurentis Entertainment Group) studios. I also wrote film criticism for a few years for “The Spectator,” a Raleigh, NC weekly. I was hired by Godfrey Cheshire who later went on to become the Film Editor for the “New York Press” and now writes for “The Independent Weekly.”

When my first screenplay didn’t sell I decided I had better find a real day job so in the mid-’90s I began working as a web designer and web developer.

I publish an infrequently-released humor zine called “Joyce Wankable” that started out as one of the first web zines in the early ’90s.

My brother Randy went to film school with Danny McBride and Jody Hill, was the art director of “The Foot Fist Way” and has acted in the TV series “East Bound and Down” and the film “Observe and Report.”
