About this user

I am a globalist in every sense of the word through my writings, poems, lyrics, films, abstract expressionist paintings, economic worries, social concerns and environmental worries.

Jamaa Fanaka's "EMMA MAE" was presented at the UCLA Armand Hammer Museum on October 22, 2010.

The picture was released in 1976.

I have a screen credit as Associate Editor.

The 2nd film that I edited was my good friend and brother, Jamaa Fanaka's "EMMA MAE."

I edited "EMMA MAE" in 1975 while I was at MGM studios in Culver City. I was the token Afro - American editor at the studio and Jamaa had need of someone who would willingly assist him since he had gotten financing capability from the Ford Foundation and he was the FINEST DIRECTOR at UCLA since Francis Ford Coppola. In my opinion, Jamaa Fanaka is on a higher directorial plane than the acclaimed and illustrious Mr. Coppolla.

Unfortunately, I left Jamaa's picture with only 1 scene, the opening of the picture, that needed editing. I had a job offer from Chuck Silvers at MGM to become the Trailer Editor for Domestic Television Syndication. I took the job from 1975 - 1978.

In 1978, I walked to the Department Head of MGM International and told him that I wanted to oversee a "B" motion picture unit under my company, PENICK PRODUCTIONS. I said the "B" unit would have $3 million dollar budgets each per picture. He urged me to increase that to $6 million since I would more than make back that money on the International marketplace.

I wrote a letter to Kirk Kerkorian, owner of MGM, that I wanted to set up a "B" motion picture unit at the studio under the Umbrella of MGM that would operate under their aegis through my Parent company "Penick Productions, Inc." I would handle all "B" motion pictures budgeted at the maximum of $6 million dollars.

I planned to use the ultra talented film students at UCLA and USC and NYU for starters, then worldwide...

No response from Kirkorian or his lieutenants. After initially allowing Kerkorian one week to peruse my proposal, I bombarded every one of his lieutenants at the Studio with the same proposal that I had given to Kirk Kirkorian.

I had balls in those days:)

Taking Executive Privilege, I tendered my resignation from MGM and left.

One of the films that i worked on in 1983 - 1985, Charles Burnett's, My Brother's Wedding, was shown at the Armand Hammer Museum near the University of California at Los Angeles on October 27, 2007. I was the Production Manager, Film Editor and I had a small role as an actor in the picture as Dead Body in a Coffin. I think that My Brother's Wedding is close to getting theatrical distribution since it was the first 35 mm. color feature film made by Charles Burnett.

Burnett was a classmate and early mentor of mine at UCLA when we were film students. I joined the Film department because he needed a member of a 12 man jury. It turned out that I was the only member of the jury who showed up at 7:00 am. to help him. Burnett and I became Friends from that day to the present. I helped him select the name of Steven for his first born son rather than Stephen. I also attended his wedding to his wife. I was quite honored.

He was one of my early mentors in film, along with Gordon Parks, Ivan Dixon, and Michael Kahn - Steven Spielberg's film editor.

I have many writing projects that are coming along nicely and as planned. I aim to have a 40 year retrospective of all of my creative work in 2009.
