Auteur Watch - James L. Brown

 Oh boy!  I get to do it again.  Now, what do this guy, this guy, this guy and thig suy... this guy all have in common?  That's RIGHT!  They're all the same guy!  I just love people like this: you look at their IMDb page, and 1) no birthdate, and 2) their impressive résumé starts with what schools they graduated from.  I mean, take Aaron Russo, for example.  Never went beyond secondary school!  But it didn't slow him down that much, did it?  That's what the Big Man Upstairs is for.  School of Hard Knocks!  SHK happens.  Whelp, I guess it's always been around, really. 

Anyway, back to the instant case.  He worked on "The Pacific," so you know he's travelling in all the right showbiz circles.  Of course, cinematography just ain't enough sometimes, so in 2015 he gave up working the camera, and decided to go into directing.  Sure, it's just documentary shorts for now, but hey!  Watan was pretty long, right?  He's just trying to make up for all the dishonesty, maybe atone for it, if you like.  So much dishonesty.
