ABOUT
Dearest people of the internets,
Thank you so much for taking the time to enter the wonderful world of JR VISION. I am happy to have you here. I have dreamt of your arrival for quite some time now. It would be a pleasure to guide you around, but I'm sure you're quite fine exploring on your own. Before you begin, I'd like to take a moment to get better acquainted. Besides, won't your adventure resonate harder if we do? And let's face it; we all like it a little harder.
Sharing my vision with you all has been a dream of mine since I was born poor white trash in the exotic lands of Statesville, North Carolina. My earliest memories consist of me directing my mother’s day care children in re-enactments of the musical numbers from Sister Act, and channeling the city version of Bette Midler’s character in Big Business in an attempt to dispose of my effeminate southern accent in preparation for world domination! What else is a flaming, turquoise spandex shorts wearing, Ace of Base loving three year old to do when he is over flowing with creative energy while imprisoned in a purgatory of strip malls, crystal meth labs, and cow manure? My parents were so proud of my artistic endevours! Which is why they have seen every single none of my films! I always knew I wanted to be a filmmaker. It was never a matter of if, but when! And how?!!
My curiosity led me to Wilmington, North Carolina. It was here that I studied filming on an abandoned bar set from Dawson's Creek under the wing of an emotionally abusive, enraged, but extremely knowledgeable industry insider who looked like the main Gorg from Jim Henson's Fraggle Rock! (Side note: Bow - bow - bow - bow - ba - na - bow - bow - bow - bow - bow - ba - now! Bow - bow - bow - bow - ba - na - now - now - now - bow - now - now - ba - now! *Clap's Twice* This is legally the closest I can get to using the Fraggle Rock theme on my website without violating copyright infringement.)
During my education in Wilmington I wrote, directed, and produced three thirty minute episodes of a television show I hoped to get on the air one day. Unfortunately for me, the episodes sucked. My early work will not see the light of day until I am famous and established, and we can all look back on how terrible it was and laugh! (And how I sort of looked like Carrot Top during this period of my life).
Once I completed these films, I new it was time to move on to bigger and better things, and loose my virginity once and for all! (Really, that Carrot Top look was the pursest form of #gayboyproblems!) If I was going to fuck with the eagles, I was going to have to learn how to fly! So, I gathered my wings, and headed to the big apple to soar!
Five years since I was greeted by a charming homeless man at Port Authority Bus Station in Times Square who threatened to find my grandmother and piss in her mouth, I have finally created a body of work that I am proud to share with you all. So, please, take a look around! I hope you like what you see! If not, I can count all of the fucks I have to give! (Hint: NONE) You are all so special to me. Peace and blessings.
Love always,
JR VISION
