I'll try to keep this short...

I'm a filmmaker by profession, and I was interested (for a while) in a movement called "Dogme 95". However, it bothered me that this film making idea which was founded on freedom of expression had so many rules associated with it. So I, and several others, figured there needed to be a new way of thinking about "freedom of expression" that would truly be free.

A new dogma.

So, "New Dogma" became my production company's name... which I no longer use. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" />

However, it is my email and I use it for screen names from time to time and since this is "The Yard" I thought "newDOGma" was appropriate. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

But everyone can call me "Joe", that was my grandfather's name, and I'm proud to have it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
