about me
About me:
I do a lot of stuff. First off I am an Illusionist going by the name Gideon Frost in 'Frost's Pandemonium Carnival. I used to live in Las Vegas and performed there for quite a while. I am also a musician. I play multiple instruments and sing too. I have been in a lot of different bands (goth industrial, celtic, etc.) Right now I am largely concentrating on electronic music. I also do special FX make-up. I used to work in that field in L.A., but now I just do freelance, independent film projects including the zombie feature that I have just finished and has recieved national distribution, and the 3rd feature film that I am working on now, and give makeup lectures at colleges. Sculpting comes with makeup prosthetics, and I enjoy painting as well, paintbrush or airbrush. I am divorced and I have an almost-15 year-old son. I should have some links soon to some of our music, the electronic group is called Dark August. Along with movie makeup, I also enjoy writing and making films and videos.

For the last 8 years, I have owned and operated Gryphon's Egg Productions, a full-scale film, video, and music production company. You name it, we do it.. I have recorded and produced most of the existing music groups in the greater Las Cruces area and some from Albuquerque. I now reside in Las Cruces, New Mexico. I have put out several short films, music videos, and I am working on several lengthy productions as well. Our newest production is a zombie feature called "Grave Mistake". The new production that we have started is called "Red Sands". One of my music videos ("Ceremony" by Whitehawk) recently won first place in its category at the Organ Mountain Film Festival, You can view pictures, movie info and much more at (www.gryphonseggproductions.com) .

I also participate in the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). I am a magician and fencer. I've been in on and off for about 15 years. My son Seth is in going into the 10th grade this year and is into theater, robotics, and Star Wars and now sculpting and fx, and is making his own movies nad music now. He likes to help me come up with ideas for my movies, and he has acted in a couple of them already!

Who I'd like to meet:
Friends, Peter Jackson, Eugene Burger, David Copperfield, David Blaine, (Ive met a lot of the other magicians) Tom Savini, George Romero, Dick Smith, Rick Baker, Bono, B.T., other filmmakers, electronic musicians.
