HOWARD 'HOWIE' DAY
"The camera captures what happens, yet knows nothing from the experience." -Howard L. Day
Adept genre and theme filmmaker with a comedy preference derived from a colorful history ranging from the absurd to the triumphant to the macabre. Finding what is and is not important in development is never understood unless it can be conveyed.
