Confused Director Productions

I created a new youtube account for my old highschool videos.




One day, in twelfth grade, I stumbled into the cafeteria, about an hour after class would have started. My friends, who also should have been in class, were hanging out, eating their breakfasts. I got a coffee, and sat down with them. I stared into the wall. I was unshaven and my eyes were at half-mast. I was wearing the same leather jacket that I wear today.

"Dude, you are such a fucking confused director," pipes in my buddy Chris.
"Huh?" I most likely responded with a bit of a delay.
"I mean... what the fuck is wrong with you? You're a living cliche. You are the quintessetial, absent-minded totally spaced out director. You are a Confused Director."

And then it just stuck. I was the Confused Director. It was my pseudonym. I designed a logo in CorelDraw: C connected to a D surrounded by a Question mark. I used this logo on the resume that got me into Sheridan. I made an e-mail address. I later made an animation of the logo; I still have the corrugated cardboard letters. My productions had a company: "Confused Director Productions"

After years of saying "I'd love to but I don't have the time" I finally buckled down and made a youtube account for Confused Director Productions, as to share the many video gems that were created in highschool and early college. There are many more videos to upload, but there are also many more that will never see the light of day again. Here's to the best of the best (of the decent)
