Ef is a filmmaker and new media producer living in Northern California's Bay Area. Ef has worked in media development for 20+ years. He established Solo Productions, a film production & services firm, in 1996 and has since worked on a broad variety of media projects taking on many roles, including writer, director, designer, producer, executive producer, and new media architect.

In 2006, Ef was Executive Producer of Adrenaline, the first single-shot narrative feature in American film history. Adrenaline will be released theatrically and on DVD in 2010. He recently completed work (as Producer/Director) on Paper Son, a feature length adaptation of a multiple-award-winning one-man play, also scheduled for release in Summer, 2010. Ef is currently adapting the chilling and fascinating non-fiction book Icon of Evil into two features, a documentary film (as Writer/Director) and a fictional narrative film (as Writer).

In 2007, Ef established Open Book Films with production partner Chris Bricca to develop films that speak truth to power, honor the efforts of good guys, reveal the truth about bad guys, and explore the legacies of both. Ten weeks prior to the 2008 presidential elections, Ef led a film crew of nine on a national road tour, conducting over 150 interviews in 30 American cities, to take the measure of America's spirit of protest exactly 40 years after the Robert Kennedy presidential campaign. The resulting film, Protest Nation: How We the People Lost Our Voice, is in post production and is scheduled for release in Spring, 2011. Open Book Films is currently developing a narrative feature on the impact and legacy of five generations of the Bush family in power and politics.

Ef has recently established Bloody Hell Pictures, a boutique horror/thriller studio deep in the redwood forests of Northern California, from which no film of intrinsic social merit should be expected to emerge.

Over the years, Ef studied at a few places, worked on a few things, and got involved in some stuff. You're most likely to find Ef now in San Francisco, Berkeley, Santa Cruz, or Los Angeles. If you have a reasonably rational, intriguing and/or amusing reason to contact him, you can send him a message or find him on Facebook or LinkedIn.
