Al is an energetic and dynamic writer and this has been noticed by Premiere magazine and Rolling Stone. He has been freelancing for around 10 years now and in that time has written and directed a film called Family Bonds. He works vigorously and has interviewed a host of celebrities including Johnny Cash, John Malkovich, Vanessa Redgrave and Jodie Foster.
Al is contemporary and even if nothing else can be said about him other than his grand repertoire of interviews, articles and film work, he is most definitely different.

It would be foolish for us to not point out an excerpt from the aforementioned book.
