My Interests

Collaborating with others
Improving my technical skills
Developing undervalued low risk projects
Investing in future technologies and methodologies

I'd like to meet:

Those who have been marginalized, degraded, mismanaged, existentially institutionalized, disinformed, irritated, threatened in an intentionally belligerent fashion, agitated, disrespected, disregarded.

Those who live constantly in a state of DREAD.

No Victims; Only Volunteers Please.

Those who would like to collaborate on media projects of the following nature:

-Busby Berkeley spectacle with Communist propaganda military dancing

-Fetishism contrasting with Asceticism

-Gender and Race issues, or other signifiers of identity

-Charisma as justification for enforcing indentured servitude

-Space Opera

Movies:

You can connect to my netflix account by pasting this link into your browser:http://www.netflix.com/BeMyFriend/PIjdWjC1EI9XqGCLTa oQAlthough it was considered a flop in its day, one of my favorite films is 'Sorcerer,' a re-make of 'The Wages of Fear' (H.G. Clouzot) directed by William Friedkin and starring Roy Scheider- definitely one of the grittiest films I've seen. I'm extremely fond of Jean Renoir (Grand Illusion, The River), Dreyer (Ordet, The Passion of Joan of Arc), Bergman (Virgin Spring, Persona), Godard (Weekend), Pasolini (Salo), Kubrick (ALL FILMS), Coppola (Godfather Part 2, Apocalypse Now-Original Release), Ridley Scott (Blade Runner- all versions, Legend).
