Living in My Oblivion - A Life in Low Budget Films

I've worked in production on independent (see"low budget") movies for over 25 years. As my mentor, Stan Bickman, used to say "You can't make this stuff up." The fantasy is not only in front of the camera - there is a good deal behind. This is a little peek. The title is a wink and a nod to the wonderful film about these movies called "Living in Oblivion."
