About Me

I'm also a fully-unapologetic lover of commercial character-centric cinema, based on a life-long love of comic books and graphic novels. Guillermo Del Toro and Zack Snyder have raised the bar indefinately with thier ground-breaking adaptations of indie graphic novels, paving the way for future generations of film makers.When i'm not working i'm usually working, and try to squeeze in at least one new movie a week. I'm also a major foodie and consider myself on lifelong quest to sample and enjoy the best world cuisine from around the globe. I also support rare animal conservation, and am a member of Save The Rhino International and the World Wildlife Fund.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who love life, and who live IN the world instead of on it. Billy Connolly's definition of an intellectual is someone who can listen to the William Tell Overture without thinking of the Lone Ranger. Over-analyse or go with your instinct? For me the latter. Keith Richards nailed it when he said "I don't think, i feel." Bravo, Sir!
