Please,....I need help,.....my psychiatrist and accountant says I will eventually burn myself out......I can't help it......to your left are 15 tabs/links and each of those tabs/links represents just 'SOME' of my work.....I know it may be a little too much for the majority of you but you see,...I am not trying to live for the majority because the majority represents mediocrity and I just can't live that way. So, I hope you understand......I can't help it and if you defy or try to stop myself I can become part EMINEM and part HOWARD STERN and come after you with a fierce hunger........ - JAMES D. WATKINS.

"Jim, despite all that you can do, most of the people you will encounter will not have that standard of professionalism and basic respect you expect". - advice from Ed Bradley, Civilian-GS12/military commander in the U.S.A.F. 1988
"When people say they don't care about the money, don't believe them, everyone cares about the money and you have to start working with people who respect what resource you do have and what you are offering them". - advice from Bill Gates, Co-founder of Microsoft Corporation; 1997
"James, please keep it up. There aren't enough artists out there these days". - from Karyn Parsons; artist, actor (FRESH PRINCE OF BEL-AIR) and entrepreneur/owner of www.sweetblackberry.com.

'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))
Below is the magical music-video 'DIAMONDS & PEARLS' starring Ranila Miyu; www.ranilamiyu.com, www.modelmayhem.com/483870 and myself. It is rated PG and is free to view. Don't forget, there are 15 links to your left and there is soooo much more to come, enjoy......

- (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
