Alizabeth James
created EccentricTV in May 2000. In November 1999 Alizabeth was persuaded
by a close friend to meet Leonard Kaplan
an eccentric artist who resided in Laguna Beach, California. After the
initial meeting, Alizabeth felt she should interview Lenny, as he was
a great conversationalist, a phenomenal painter and a former pre-Columbian
art dealer. One year later, Lenny agreed to an interview. After the interview
concluded Alizabeth began developing the EccentricTV non-celebrity concept
before Reality TV became a reality.
Alizabeth began directing/writing/acting
various forms of media such as commercials, music videos and infomercials
for cable television.
