James Domkus
James Domkus was born in the Kaiser Hospital in Los Angeles on Septemper 14, 1978. He grew up in West Covina, a suburb of L.A., going to the local elementary school, then junior high, and eventually graduating from West Covina High School.

James' passion for film began early on in his life, spending his summers in the eighties going to the summer matinees. Once a week every summer he was subjected to many of the classics like Jason and the Argonauts and other B-Movies the theatres could get their hands on cheap. These movies directly influenced his decision to pursue a film career.

James' first 'film' happened in high school, as a science assignment, he and a few friends formed a production company named: Our Group Productions. With this new alliance, 'Jurrasic Fuel' was born, a parody of Jurrasic Park, with a bit of high school chemistry lessons mixed in. Winning 6 awards in a competition of all physics and chemistry classes combined, it is now buried deep in a vault with no key. (so don't ask to see it) The success of this film prompted him to team up with Chainmail Straightjacket Enterprises to create his second (ehem..) masterpiece: 'Dial-a-Ninja,' Now under a new company: Fedora Productions, Dial-a-Ninja took the second place award at the Pomona film festival: Smog Dance.

Attending Mt San Antonio Community College, James used the resources of the video department to create yet another work of cinema art, a project that was three years in the making: The Hamster, a parody of The Crow. However, The Hamster was not recieved well by many critics (the filmmakers themselves), in a word, it sucked. Not to be deterred, James entered the world of filmmaking, in the guise of a Grip, starting work for free, and then eventually moving on to paid work in the wonderful world of Grip & Electric. It was on one of these free movies he was Key gripping that he met ThUnderground Films' founder, Rafael Ramirez. A few months after their initial meeting, Rafael called James and asked him to Gaff 'Zen in the Art of Yardsailing.' Finding the project to be very promising, he agreed, and the rest is cinematic history.

I'll make my list of favorites later. and I also need to include my origins as a pirate.
