Single Malt Filmmaker
BEVAN B. BELL
Bevan B. Bell is a man of many talents, crafted and aged in a single oak barrel.
I’m a filmmaker; an Auteur. I’m a Writer/Director. I also happen to know how to shoot and edit really well and I’m lucky enough to make a living doing it. Occasionally I get to ham it up in front of the camera. I haven’t figured out how to make a living out of doing that yet. I’ve been working PROFESSIONALLY (actually getting paid to do this stuff) for 18 years now. I know what you’re thinking, “You don’t look that old.” Well, I kind of am “that old” plus I started out really young.

I’m always toiling away the wee hours of the night; dreaming, crafting, and completing a plethora of new projects for clients and personal fulfillment. Between life, work, and a screaming baby… I’m sure I’ll get around to posting more eventually.
A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet.

Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless – like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.
-Bruce Lee
