My Interests:
First and foremost, filmmaking is my passion. It's what I want to do the rest of my life. In no particular order, here are some other things I like: photography, playing chess, playing guitar, Rube Goldberg devices, Kettle One vodka, the Chicago Cubs, the Detroit Red Wings, the New York Rangers, the Chicago Bears, comic books, independent film and music, bad-ass t-shirts, hats, time travel, and political / religious discussions. I also collect vintage Mego World's Greatest Super Heroes.
My Muse:
My parents, family, friends, lovers, and alcohol are the "big five." Subversive counter-culture is also a big influence on me and my work as well as comic books, music, television and american captialism. Sex, violence, rock and roll, hip hop, fads, trends, staple ideologies, revolution, conformity, magic, bottled water, baseball, hockey, football, pizza, tacos, digital media, "Grape Crush" and "Jalapeno Crunchers" just about sum up the rest. There are volumes to be told of what inspires me, but basically anything or anyone that’s ever made me stop to think qualifies.
Influential Directors:
Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez, Kevin Smith, Larry Clark, P.T. Anderson, Paul Anderson, John Huges, Cameron Crowe, David Lynch, David Fincher, Akira Kurosawa, Danny Boyle, Martin Scorsese, Steven Soderbergh, Terry Gilliam, George Lucas, Takashi Miike, Stanley Kubrick, Sergio Leone, Clint Eastwood, Richard Donner, John Cassavetes, Francis Ford Coppola, Brian De Palma, Sidney Lumet, Sam Raimi, Steven Spielberg, Gaspar Noe, Luc Besson, Jim Jarmusch, Roger Avary, Brian Singer, Tom Tykwer, David Cronenberg, and a ton more.
