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 to development is never understood unless it can be conveyed visually.
