Headless Mission

To foster a more artistic and, therefore, innovative and open-minded public for an increasingly diverse and challenging global civilization. To create media that explores and celebrates the human imagination and its practitioners, the artist, the scientist, the activist, the visionary individuals who overcome the status quo.

Why Headless?

I grew up in a wonderful home, full of imagination. Everything from school projects to holidays was a reason to explore and play. Halloween was one of the big events. My sister and I would haunt the house.

My first screenplay was based on Irving’s Legend. It is our first American fairy tale. When Tim Burton announced he was making Sleepy Hollow, it taught me that ideas are never your own, nor are they anyone else’s. Irving stole the story himself, from the old Dutch wives.

West-Indian poet and playwright Derek Walcott, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in '92, said, “Creating a poem is a continual process of recreating your ignorance; you don’t know the next word.”

For me this is the essential thing about all creative endeavors that is different from any other human pursuit. You are never correct. There is no confidence. You are always cutting off your head, in search of a new one.
