    My latest written stuff is at myspace.com/bojo or Livejournal.com/users/danimatian

    I am a graduate of Grand Valley State University's Film/Video program.

    I recently moved to Chicago, IL and I am exploring many new film/video/animation opportunities there. More on this story as it develops!

    Well, I'm writing. As usual. This time I'm a bit more excited about it than ever before. I am also working on a CDROM , which will cost you about $7 if you want one. You want one, so just e-mail me now and I'll send you one.
    Edgar is also writing. We're not really working on anything besides just writing now. I know... we're boring.
    My, my my... Dan and Edgar working together again? That's right, you read it correctly, the Tres Cojones are back in business. Edgar's next film, set for production in Chicago early next year, will have me in the forefront, working directly with my Chi-Town homeboy. I really don't know what Ed's film is about at this point, other then he wants to close out his GVSU career working with the one he started with. (Me, dumbass.)
         As for myself, I am writing Only As Far Away As The Next Breath . Yes, the title is a bit long-winded, but I'm keeping it that way. The film has three portions, which will be intertwined in a Citizen Kane-esqe storytelling  extravaganza. Breath will start shooting in February on MiniDV format. At the moment, it's looking to be about 45 minutes long. I am exporting it to color 16mm film after editing. Some think this is a bad idea, but digital video is becoming a prime choice for independent filmmaking and I'm looking to get my feet wet.
     Breath will star my roomate and co-writer, Edgar Boettcher IV, Pamela Buha, Nicki Pattuew, Jeremy Horning and Myself. Others will have smaller roles, such as Jana Serrell, Dave and Rebecca Valko as well as some other TGIFool's in bit parts.  Breath follows the adventures of Edgar and I through relationships with the two girls, as well as the me dealing with the fact that the girl I love spent many a horizontal time in a dark room with Jeremy before I met her. Flashback scenes will be animated,  you can read about that below. Breath will hit Sundance and Cannes in early 2001.
        My new film will have lots on animation in it, but barely any by me. Well, I will probably have to do some in-betweening, but the main character design, etc will be done by Jason Roth. Jason is my Director of Animation for Only As Far Away As The Next Breath. I love Jason's work and am very excited to have him satirize me in one of my own works. Every time there is a flashback sequence and the characters are talking about something, the viewer will see what they are talking about in an animated form. Enter Jason. Jason will draw hilarious renderings of Edgar and myself and our adventures in yesteryear. Through Transformers and other grade school memories with Jeremy (also a key figure in the film.) Animation will be completed roughly during the fall of 2000, so by then, I'll let you know what's up!

    ANIMATIONS = DANIMATIANS

    Most of you have informed me that I've MISSPELLED Animation in the word Danimatian.

    Allow me to fill you in...

    Animation is what I studied in school. When I animate, I called it the finished product a Danimation. Somewhere along the line I substituted the "o" in animation for an "a." Why did I do this? Because I am Armenian, and most Armenian names end in -ian or -yan. Hence, an Armenianified Animation is an Animatian. An Armenianified Animation by me is a Danimatian. Now you know.

    Ok, so why is this site called www.zoomis.com/~elvis?
