"What are you, magician, writer, actor, director, artist?......"
-question from radio host SBK of www.sbklive.com to James D. Watkins
"He was a man for whom everything was possible, absolutely everything, in the world of theater, radio, film and t.v. He could have been a major changer and shaper of our performing arts"
- from film critic Stanley Kauffman from the book WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO ORSON WELLES?
"He was astonishing prolific and artistically rich"
-by author Joseph McBride from the book WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO ORSON WELLES?
THE PHOENIX PREMIUM
Welcome. I am James D. Watkins, THE preeiment independent artist of the 21st century. (Mr. Watkins is that fine individual directly above and if I wasn't myself I would make love to myself). There are 8 links above and each contain totally different works.
When your craft and your destiny merges at the same time....there is no feeling like it in all the world.

"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'.
