BTW I go by my middle name Cathy as I did before coming to B-Ville late in the 10th grade. Since I graduated I stayed around for 2 years working at a few places like a grocery store then a fitness salon, which I enjoyed, but wanted more. I moved to California in 81 to pursue a career in the film industry and have been here ever since. 38 years. Wow. I started in the mailroom at MGM studios then went on to many more jobs working my way up to eventually produce movies and join the directors guild of america as a production manager (which is part of the directors team). While working at MGM they paid for me to go to film school at UCLA but i never got any degree as it was mostly night school while I worked full time. I wanted to get into movies so I could make a difference in the world on a big platform but the biz is a difficult world and although I've come a long way and have a successful career, I wasn't able to get on the movies I wanted most of the time or even make my own. I did however do my first film finally a documentary that I hope to distribute soon. I directed it and it is a socially conscious film on the spoken word poetry scene in America today. I did get to work with some greats like Sean Penn, Jack Nicholson, Nic Cage, Val Kilmer, Nicole Kidman, Tilda Swenton, to name a few. If anyone cares or has a specific question they can go to IMDB and look me up for more of a list of movies. I still travel all over with my job, I've mostly filmed all over the US and Canada but also filmed in Morocco, London, Jordon & Mexico.

School Story:

Moved to Brecksville in the middle of tenth grade and that was kind of hard for me since not only did i leave all my childhood friends but i found that everyone already had their friends which I completely understood. I also was one of 4 (i believe) that graduated early (Jan. 79) so i didn't get to know too many of you and I apologize if i don't remember you when you facebook me. I do have an interesting story that i don't thing anyone knows but I would like to share. Well in case you don't remember me, I was the girl who came from Cleveland and moving to Brecksville was quite a culture shock to me. Certain teachers like Mr Zebro treated me, to put it nicely, different. Once he even said to the classroom that he knew who slashed his tire on his car and looked at me, like i would do such a thing. Anyway he always gave me C's and D's on my homework and i came from honors classes in Cleveland and I knew I was a good student. So I spoke with the Principle about it and he agreed to test my theory. We took a straight A student and I copied his homework word for word for one week and low and behold I got C's and D's and he got straight A's. I was immediately taken out of his class and he almost lost his job. Somehow they put him on suspension and then kept him in the end. And Mr Zebro was allowed to screw me one more time since he was the teacher chosen to do the reports that go to colleges and he wrote things like, sleeps in class, doesn't pay attention... you get the drift. I still have it. Funny I didn't pay too much attention to that since I had my sites on moving to California and getting in the film industry, which I did, and I have worked my way up to a very successful career with or without the help of B-ville. My mother worked at the post office and every time Mr Zebro came in she got to tell him all the wonderful things I was doing and what movies I was working on and who I was working with and I got to laugh every time she told me the look on his face. Well I heard he died so RIP Mr Zebro and I forgive your ignorance.
