About Me

I am 28. I travel. I'm a filmmaker. I lecture at various colleges. I dance. I am an activist. I'm self-employed. I care deeply for my friends and family. I am fluid. I live improv. I co-founded an arts festival www.freeformfilm.org. I enjoy sleeping outside in the carcus of a fresh kill. I scavenge. I sometimes shower by night in tree nurseries. I hustle. I get by.
