A Poem What I wrote:

I think therefore I am, but what joy should I take from simply being? How can I feel free? when I am lost in a world that laughs at me. For I have eyes but cannot see. Hah! Such a clic...

Inspiration

I had an idea for a short film last night that began to formulate after I had drank the best part of a bottle of wine. Normally I would not say that Alcohol fuels creativity but in this case it did. I...
