If you only do what you know you can do--you never do very much
-Tom Krause
ACTION, is a common word associated with DAE's everyday life. Who you might ask is DAE? Dae is a video director/actor coming out of Atlanta. He is the co-ceo of GUERRILLA FILM JUNKIES. A company that directs and producers innovative music videos all over the country. Dae was raised in ATL and traveled a lot. He started acting in theater and then moved into film and television soon after. He didn't start directing videos until film school. Guerrilla Film junkies came about in 2004, and so far has produced over 50 music videos. Dae writes treatments, edits, always on the phone or on the set directing. When he isn't directing, he's acting. He's had guest appearances on The Shield, According To Jim, Lincoln Heights, Without A Trace and ER just to name a few. His hobbies and interests includes a lot of traveling. He's been pretty much everywhere form the Philippines to Rome. Next up for him is Africa. Ultimate goal in life is just simply to be happy. From the business aspect his ultimate goal is to have the power to green light films. It's hard to explain the feeling one gets when you sit back and watch your final product and watching peoples reactions to it. Dae strives to produce quality work. As a director he daydreams a lot, imagines things that don't exist. He brings imagination to life in his films. He is inspired by other peoples accomplishments "if they can do it, why cant i?" is his motto. His favorite job so far was directing a music video for rapper Oj Da Juice man. Dae states if he wasn't in the business he'd probably be a lawyer somewhere. When asked about if any negative press from the media ever gets to him he states "i recognize the difference between entertainment and reality. I understand how the media skews things for rating" I' m not controlled by the media" Advice he gives those who want to pursue there dreams "life is short, why not break some rules, go big or go home. Nobody is going to give you anything even if you earn it, you have to take it" And that's exactly what Dae has done. He has taken his God given talents of directing and acting and used him to the best of his ability to get him where he is today.
