...in hope one day to have my own film under the criterion label.

Television:

I watch
Arrested Development, South Park, The Office, Extras, and 24

To tell you the truth
I really don't care for television. Yes, I know...its a sin ,but there's hardly anything good on anymore, especially on primetime. I wish programs would create more substance. Can television build a story than make another reality tv show?

Books:

I Read
Scripts, Screenplays, Biographies, Subtitles, Fiction Novels, Articles, Short Stories, Treatments, Outlines, DVDnews, Study Guides, E-mails, Cliff Notes, Letters in the Mail,Sunday Newspaper, Textbooks, and Facebook News Feeds.

Heroes:

My Family
Alex Perry, Meri Mattson, Charissa Attwood, Rick Mattson, Lee Mattson, Don Mattson. The list goes on and on.
