About Me

I have been writing most of my life, but began concentrating on film about ten years ago. I am about to shoot a short film called Choices. Look for it soon.

My Interests

Film, role-play gaming, board gaming.

I'd like to meet:

Kevin Smith. we got the same girth, the same love of movies. I think he would be a hoot to sit around, have a few beers and shoot the shit with. Either him, or Rachel Ray, who is the perfect woman. Maybe, in a dream world, she could serve Kevin and I a 30-minute meal.

Music:

Here is what I am listening to right now:Dresden Dolls Dominique Vouk Classic Howard Jones Doctor Who Big Finish Audios

Movies:

I watch a lot of movies. Off the top of my head here are some of my favs (though not all):

The Sweet Hereafter American History X Monty Python and the Holy Grail Lord of the Rings Extended Edition Casino Royale (2006) - BEST BOND EVER Gone With the Wind Blade Runner (Director's Edition)

Television:

Here is what I watch on TV (or try to) on a regular basis: Boston Legal Doctor Who (BBC/Sci Fi/BBC America) Torchwood (BBC/BBC America) Family Guy (Fox/Cartoon Network/TBS) Battlestar Galactica (Sci Fi/Universal HD) Mythbusters (Discovery) Later with Jools Holland (BBC America/RAVE HD) Daily Show (Comedy Central) Colbert Repoort (Comedy Central) Countdown with Keith Olbermann (MSNBC)

Books:

Currently I am reading The Watchmen, a graphic novel about murder in a world where superheroes are outlawed.Also, I am reading The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman. It is the first of three novels, and is being made into a movie with Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig. It is excellent, kind of a gnostic answer back to C.S. Lewis' Narnia series.
