| L.A. based Actor / Cinematic Artist. Muse Chaser, Moon Barker & Change Agent. Producer, Writer & Composer.
********************* In the soon-to-be-released feature film "Crazy" I portray Autry Inman, Cowboy Copas' bass player. A real guy circa 1958. This film stars Ali Larter (Heroes), Lane Garrison (Prison Break), David Conrad (Ghost Whisperer), Scott Michael Campbell and emerging star Waylon Payne. Not to mention the first acting appearance of American Idol Katherine McPhee. I get to flex my music roots in this biopic, that has great music from the 50's and 60's. ********************* "Problem With Percival" Starring myself and others including Aaron Ruell (Napoleon Dynamite) and Directed by Three-Time Sundance helmer Seth Gordon is screening at multiple festivals nationwide. Seth is also screening his feature "The King of Kong", which is truly amazing. This film is being released by *Picturehouse* (Pans' Labryinth) and is also slated for redevelopment by *New Line Cinema* with Seth directing. And he's on to directing a film for *Columbia Pictures*. "The King of Kong" will be a milestone in the history of documentaries. The mythological/archetypal flow of the story that unfolded equals great literature and will inspire filmmakers for years to come. It's a lesson in letting the organic story unfold without pushing. Film won't be released until Aug 17 theatrically, but the upper inner circle of Hollywood is already abuzz. Cool Stuff...! ********************** "The Little Documentary That Couldnt" feature screening at multiple festivals this spring and summer. It's already received a couple of awards. ********************** Look for multiple comedic shorts produced by Starz Entertainment to air this summer. ********************** |

Music:I love all styles of good music. Check out this piece by the artist Hybrid, stick with it for several minutes if you can. It's like a three-act short film with an arc; it takes you places. I compose electronic music similar to this myself, (not as accomplished as Hybrid). I like mixing musical styles. I truly love every type of music from opera to raw drum beats. I say we bring Todd Rundgren back. I want to redo some "Todd" or put some music in a film. Lately I've been hearing rhythm beds for rap music in my head... |
|
Movies:Movies that have characters and situations that pull you in. New insights on Universal Truths. Comedies that make you think. Dramas that make you laugh. |
|
Television:I'll bet you didn't know there was a television in 1928. Kinda reminds me of the current little video windows on our computers. I wonder if this sweet lady ever lived to see great TV... like "The Flip Wilson Show" for example. |
|
Books:Of course, if the sweet lady above (who looks dressed to party) was chillin with her date and they bumped heads just trying to watch the little screen on the TV, that would be a romance kill...I'm guessin. Better go to the moving picture show instead."If I had my life to live over again, I'd make the same mistakes, only sooner." - Tallulah Bankhead |

Winner gets a massive notoriety muffin.********** As of April 21, no one has identified the movie above....I stumped y'all, huh? ********** "You still really fight for good parts. It never stops. It's never a breeze. The people at the top of their game work as hard as the people at the bottom." -Actor Steve Zahn "Happy people make bad actors" - Character quote in landmark Japanese horror film "Audition" "You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down." -Mary Pickford, Actress & Producer "Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties." - Erich Fromm Definition of "Panglossism" = blind ambition. associated with Pangloss, a character in Voltaire's "Candide" ~on the other hand~ "...when someone asks me, 'What's the secret of success?' I tell them forget about secrets and forget about success-- just work your ass off and hope the planets line up." -Gene Simmons, KISS “Movies are never finished; they’re abandoned.” -Danny DeVito (Regarding TV development) “Every show should be someone’s favorite show - don’t get hung up on concept.” Brandon Tartikoff “Never stop trying to hang yourself.” Charles Laughton "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. " - Theodor Geisel (The Seuss-meister) Transamerica Director Duncan Tucker on Felicity Huffman- “I pray now that actors will always come in with something new and unexpected and surprising …that I did not think was going to happen, ‘cus wow, what a gift that is ...when you’re blown away; when the universe gives you a surprise.” "I don't believe in happy endings. I do believe in moments of grace." -Todd Field "Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today" ~James Dean ... hmm...

Doesn't every fiber of your being just want to get loose with these folk? Good people. Whoa, dude, you're like out of control. You look so cool-whoa!-Back-off cowpoke, don't fall on the girl in the chair. Hate that! And sheesh, that other girl could sell ad space on those bobby socks. Boss! Wow She's apparently very versatile. The entertainment business is tough you know, it's always good to have something to fall back on. Hmmm...she obviously got paid for it, but what IS she doing with that elephant? Tell me this doesn't look like a great time. This guy probably became a middle manager at a bank or something. Future sugar daddy. What a guy. What a party. Say what? Sex, Drugs and... and... Polka? _________________________ Do you believe that Mutual Understanding is Possible? Hmmm difficult question...I'm going with a "yes". Remember, the next time you want to go at it and bust somebodies chops... Mutual Understanding Is Possible. ..always possible... Why do we forget? Seems that sometimes we ourselves don't want to admit that Mutual Understanding Is Possible. For a moment, when we get hurt or experience fear, we want to believe that it is not at all possible. What is the root of that momentary belief? Pride? Fear? Control? Selfishness? Remember, it's always possible. Mutual understanding. The above graphic is available on merchandise at http://muip.davidboller.com *************************** STRUGGLE By Napoleon Hill The necessity for struggle is one of the clever devices through which nature forces individuals to expand, develop, progress, and become strong through resistance. Struggle can, and does, become either an ordeal or a magnificent experience through which the individual expresses gratitude for the opportunity to conquer the cause of his struggle. Life, from birth until death, is literally an unbroken record of an ever increasing variety of struggles, which no individual can avoid. Mastery over ignorance calls for struggle. Education involves eternal struggle, and every day is commencement day because education is cumulative. It is a lifetime job. Maintenance of sound physical health calls for eternal struggle with the multifarious enemies of sound health; struggle for food and shelter; struggle for an opportunity to earn a living; struggle to hold a job; struggle to gain recognition in a profession; struggle to keep a business out of bankruptcy. Look in whatever direction we may, and we find that there is hardly a circumstance of daily life which does not call for individual struggle in order to survive. We are forced to recognize that this great universal necessity for struggle must have a definite and useful purpose. That purpose is to force the individual to sharpen his/her wits, arouse his/her enthusiasm, build up his/her spirit of Faith, gain definiteness of purpose, develop his/her power of will, inspire his/her faculty of imagination to give him/her new uses for old ideas and concepts, and thereby fulfill some unknown mission for which he may have been born. Struggle keeps people from going to sleep with self-satisfaction or laziness, and forces him/her onward and upward in the fulfillment of his/her mission of life, and he/she thereby makes his/her individual contribution to whatever may be the Universal Purpose of mankind on earth. Strength, both physical and spiritual, is the product of struggle! "Do the thing," said Emerson, "and you shall have the power." Meet struggle and master it, says nature, and you shall have strength and wisdom sufficient for all your needs. If you wish a strong arm, says nature, give it systematic use under the weight of a three-pound hammer and soon you will have muscles like bands of steel. If you do not wish a strong arm, says nature, tie it in a sling, take it out of use, and remove the cause for struggle, and its strength will wither and die. In every form of life, atrophy and death come from idleness! There may be some pain in most forms of struggle, but nature compensates the individual for the pain in the form of power and strength and wisdom which comes from practical experience. While organizing the Science of Success philosophy, I made the revealing discovery that all the more successful leaders, in every calling, in every profession, and every walk of life, had gained their leadership in almost exact ratio to the extent of their struggles in the attainment of their leadership. I observed, with profound interest, that no man, who had not been thoroughly tested by the necessity of struggle, seemed ever to have been chosen as a leader in times of great crises during the interim between the stone age and our present day civilization. Careful study of the entire record of civilization itself, from the age of the cave man to the present, shows clearly that it is the product of eternal struggle. For twenty odd years I was forced to struggle, in mastering the problems incidental to my work in organizing the world's first practical philosophy of success. First, I was forced to struggle in preparing myself with the necessary knowledge to produce the philosophy. Secondly, I was forced to struggle to maintain myself economically while doing the research necessary to organize the philosophy. Then I met with still greater necessity to struggle while gaining recognition from the world for myself and the philosophy. Twenty years of struggle without any direct financial compensation is an experience not calculated to give one sustained hope, but it was the price I had to pay for a philosophy which was destined to benefit untold numbers of people, many of whom were not born when I began my work. Discouraging? Heartbreaking? Not at all, for I recognized from the beginning that out of my struggle would come triumph and victory in proportion to the labors invested in my task. In this hope I have not been disappointed, but I have been overwhelmed with the bountiful manner in which the world has responded and paid me tribute for the long years of struggle that went into my work. Also, I have gained from my struggle something of still greater and more profound value. It is recognition that through my struggles I have reached deeply into the spiritual wells of my soul, and there I have found powers available for every purpose I may desire - powers I never knew I possessed, and never would have discovered except by the means of struggle! From my experiences with struggle I discovered that the Creator never singles out an individual for an important service to mankind without first testing him, through struggle, in proportion to the nature of the service he is to render. Thus, through struggle, I learned to interpret the laws, purposes, and working plans of the Creator as they related to me and to mankind in general. What greater benefits could anyone desire from struggle? What greater rewards could anyone gain from any other cause?
