About Me

Check out my MySpace music page


So the Sandbox (short film) has been getting picked up all over Europe for screenings. Kory and I are going to go rock out in Portugal (on their dime even) at a festival the week before Cannes. Waiting to hear back on that one still. And we just pitched BlueSky/20th Century Fox Animation on feb 14th for a feature. We find out before March 1 supposedly if we're suddenly making a big budget animated feature or not :D
I take photos and post them on Flickr
My online presence since before any of these community sites existed and where most of my blogging takes place: www.boboroshi.com (opens in a new window)
I have a degree I don't use, friends i don't talk to often enough, and stress that I'm removing from my life in a very susinct way. I grew up in Virginia, but I'm a California boy. I'm a liberal and idealist. Which equates to the understanding that the ideal is rarely achieved, but that it's always worth fighting for. I have a movie constantly running in my head. I have a good memory on the most esoteric facts, but will forget someone's name five seconds after they've told it to me. I'm amazed you're still reading.
I play in a band called Rotoscope that's in a constant state of flux between successful moves up the ladder and imploding upon itself. I produce electronic music with my production partner, DJ Kynz. I also play and produce in a band called The Aurora Lovely.
I was doing the dress shirt untucked long before it was a fashion trend (thank you Catholic skool!). I like the rock and roll music but I listen to everything from classical to jazz to hip hop to electronica.
my music:
Rock Music
Clean Lines [mp3]
[untitled song 30] [mp3]
One Day [mp3]
(other stuff I wrote with courtney and the band at rotoscope.com)
Electronic
The Mo(u)rning Song [mp3] - Downtempo/house
As Good As You [mp3] - Prog. House/Break
Arpleago [mp3] - Prog House
Hope [mp3] - Downtempo/Break
Highline [mp3] - 3 am + 1/5 of Jack + thinking it would be fun to make an epic trance style song.
And as Emily Haines said: "It's impossible like girls in stilletos trying to run."

My Interests

Music, politics, soccer, swimming, sleeping, design, architecture, photography, animation, film, running away.

Sincere and honest. That works.

UNKLE
U2
Jeff Buckley
Thievery Corporation
Interpol
Muse
The Stills
The Cure
New Order
Depeche Mode
Agents of Good Roots
Coldplay
The Smiths
Morrisey
At The Drive-In
Metric
Maroon 5
Brian Eno
Dave Matthews Band
Jason Mraz
The Crystal Method
Spectre
Bicycle Thieves
Rotoscope (well duh, I have to like my own shizzle).

I even listen to trite pop music on occasion. And yes, sometimes, I like it.

Movies:

are great escapism. lots of em. i like lots of em. A smattering? Um... The Dao of Steve, Pi, anything out of Pixar, usually anything with interesting visual effects, run lola run, monty python, meeting people is easy, better living through circuitry, apocalypse now, lotr, band of brothers, brazil, you get the idea...

Television:

Rarely watch it (don't spend much time in front of the cable-connected television). When I do watch, it's Jon Stewart, Adult Swim, History Channel, Deadwood, Entourage, and CNN/Headline News, and the music channels.

Books:

Just finished Freakonomics. Currently reading "Blink" (Malcolm McDowell) and "A Year with Swollen Apendecies" (Brian Eno). Naked Lunch, On The Road, Brave New World, and a few choice others...

Heroes:

My parents and grandparents.
