Revision as of 09:18, 14 August 2014

Greg Weisman, Greg Bishansky and Jennifer L. Anderson in Greg W's "Spectacular Spider-Man" office.

I am a co-administrator of this site, and a fan of "Gargoyles" since October 24th, 1994.

Bio

I have been a constant participant in the fandom since 1997, and attended my first Gathering in 1998. Since then I have written fanfiction, served a stint as the Head of Edits for The Gargoyles Saga fanfiction series for a few years, and have attended eleven out of the thirteen Gatherings.

In 2003, I decided to try my hand at running a Gathering, and I think it came out quite well. After swearing a blood vow never to do it again, I joined the staff of the Tenth Annual Gathering of the Gargoyles in Valencia, California and the Twelfth Annual Gathering in Chicago, Illinois. I am truly proud to have been a part of that, and was on staff for the 13th Annual Gathering of the Gargoyles in Los Angeles, California. http://www.gatheringofthegargoyles.com

Anyone who knows me, even vaguely, knows that my favorite character in the series is Demona. But, make no mistake, I am by no means a Demona-Apologist.

Outside of "Gargoyles", I study film and work as a producer. I'm developing a feature tentatively titled, "The Cleansing." Coming to a theater near you... hopefully some time in our lifetimes. I've also got several other scripts in the works.

My credits so far include the student short, Outrageou$ Fortune and Production Assistant of an as yet untitled internet pilot with Sean Patrick Flannery (star of the "Young Indiana Jones Chronicles"). I have also produced Life As A House and was a Production Assistant on American Beauty. I worked as a Production Assistant on "The John Kerwin Show" and "The Grover Complex."

Greg and Mara Cordova in "The Lost"

My creative influences are Martin Scorsese; Alfred Hitchcock; Francis Ford Coppola; Quentin Tarantino; Stanley Kubrick; Joss Whedon; J. Michael Straczynski; Ridley Scott; the Coen Brothers; oh, and of course, Greg Weisman.

I had a brief job as Norman Osborn's chauffeur, but after the second accident right at the toll booth, I was promptly fired. Worst chauffeur ever. I then took a job as an orderly at Ravencroft only, I can't tell what, but something came over me when Queen Bee of Bialya came to tour the facilities... I don't know what happened, but I lost my job.

After 14 years, I've found a use for my VHS of "The Goliath Chronicles." Propping up my air conditioner so coolant doesn't leak in and ruin my carpet.
My custom Demona action figure, made by Anthony's Customs.

I also have a special seat reserved in Hell for watching "Inglourious Basterds" with a twelve-year-old girl. She thought Aldo was funny.
