About Me

Over-educated, under-funded (I almost put endowed but didn't want you to get the wrong idea), former part-time academic (now I need a real job), sometime filmmaker with no practical or marketable skills. "Anxiety is the hand maiden of creativity" (TS Eliot). I hope there's a positive correlation between them since anxiety without creativity would really suck.
