I don't own a television, but if I did, I'd only subscribe to Science Channel, Discovery, History Channel and Fuel TV (if it's still around...?) If you asked me my favorite directors, producers, etc. I don't think I could name anyone past...
My films are shot and edited by my good friend and talented videographer Ben Judkins. I give him a story board, create and direct the shots, then let him do his thing. From there on, it's nothing but team work, luck, and a little bit of magic.
