| I am....James D. Watkins; 'I was born after Mozart and before Michelangelo. I have denied myself the utmost of luxuries in this society, i.e.; car, house, unlimited credit, excessive partying and this is because I am right.

'Being a hyper-active artist is beyond comprehension, apprehension and creation of you normal people. An artist is the closest to the power of God some of you will ever come to'.
'There are 2 'C's in society; CONSUMERS & CREATORS. Unfortunately you CONSUMERS populate a regular job and you think you know about us CREATORS but you don't. You CONSUMERS also masquerade as CREATORS, be it actors, dancers, models, photographers and producers and you always come up short and give up because you are too caught up being a CONSUMER'.

VCR THEATRE
VCR THEATRE is my online video display of 'shorts' I created. I named it VCR THEATRE because I grew up in the VCR age. Some of the 'shorts' will be free to view while others will be at a pay-per-view site (go to; 'INVEST/WHAT'S UP/PIPELINE' link for information on that). My work is stored in 2 places; Upstate New York and another storage place in Central Florida. I simply do not have enough capital to fund all that I created so that's why I created VCR THEATRE so you can get a small 'taste' of what I am. Go through the links to your left and there some 'short' video-promos posted at some of those links and at the 'INVEST/WHAT'S UP/PIPELINE there are photos of whose in other videos I have. These short videos are free to view so enjoy.... . . (......there is no other)
FLESH FOR FANTASY(F4F); starring; Celeste Nicole; c2parziale@yahoo.com, www.modelmayhem.com/cnic is available to view below. It is rated-R. THE GREATEST FANTASY COMES FROM THE FLESH. DO NOT watch this music video if you can't appreciate the human body.....DO NOT watch this music video if you are closed-minded.....DO NOT watch this music video if you can't appreciate good acting. YOU MUST be over 35 years old to watch this music video......otherwise go watch something safe and flat like 'American Idol' like the average person. This is a sensual work of art.

- (Steve Schneider is a film/theatre critic for the ORLANDO WEEKLY - www.orlandoweekly.com. He now does critiquing work in New York as well as Florida. He has been voted 'Best' Critic and journalist in Orlando, Florida. Here is his critique of my work..........)
"Having witnessed his work firsthand, I suspect James D. Watkins may be a genius of some shape or magnitude. Just try to forget that that endorsement comes from a guy who voted for Mondale and DuKakis, gave 'Death to Smoochy' four stars and genuinely preferred New Coke. An old-school impresario in the mold of Ziegfeld or Welles-albeit one spared the crippling handicaps of funding or common sense......"
"When I am gone, they will love me" - quote from Orson Welles right before he died and who also directed what many consider the greatest film ever 'CITIZEN KANE'.

'Creative individuals are remarkable-but also remarkable difficult human beings. They are fiercely ambitious, single-minded, egocentric, unhesitant to sacrifice all in the service of their work. They may be capable of acts of great generosity, but fundamentally they are selfish, or, perhaps more accurately, self-centered. It is risky to remain within the orbit of a creative individual for one may well be used or tossed aside should the interests or passions of the creative individual happen to change. However, there are obvious rewards for remaining within that orbit; such individuals are tremendously lively, energetic and stimulating'.
- from the novel 'MOZART'; A LIFE by author Maynard Solomon
