Fluent in ASL and French, speak a little German, pasta lover, citizen of the world. :)Recently got published... gimme a "do what?" about it. ;)Ich bin jetzt ein professionelles documentarian und ein Drehbuchautor.LET'S MAKE EVERY MONTH AUTISM AWARENESS MONTH. AWARENESS not "cure." Change yourself.

My Interests



Besides confusing people: Disability Studies, Disability Rights, Medical Anthropology, Architecture, and Sudoku addict.Reposting the embed for my film "The Ghost at the Banquet."

I'd like to meet:

Open minded guy with a caveat: No tolerance for bigotry of ANY kind.I mean this quite literally: I hate ALL the phobias and "isms." If you regularly rant about "illegals" or "the terrorists" or tell gay jokes, or regularly refer to people using offensive remarks about people with disabilities, or you can only make yourself feel good by making fun of people who you think are "beneath you": we ain't gonna get along.To be blunt: the "r" word and all its variants makes me immediately dislike you.

Music:

So much music, so little time. ANYTHING WITH A SOUL! This can be metal, rap, and even some country, though as a rule, country is too much of "I got low self esteem and I'm a gonna sing about it."

Movies:

Donnie Darko, Interview with the Vampire, A Trip to Bountiful, Dune, Flash Gordon, Grand Canyon, What the Bleep Do We Know, The X-Men Series, Blade, Little Buddha, anything by Alfred Hitchcock, anything by Bertolucci, anything by Danny Boyle. And my cult movies are Xanadu, Dante's Peak (best comedy ever), Summer Lovers, and The Great Muppet Caper. And Believe in Me because my girl spawn is in it. :)A special thank you to Michael Moore. Thanks for the advice. :)

Television:

Besides CNN and Keith Olbermann on Youtube:Alive Shows: NIP/TUCK, The Closer, Heroes. Dead Shows: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Twin Peaks.

Books:

Animal Farm, Bless Me Ultima, Memnoch the Devil, The Lord of the Flies, Flowers for Algernon, Riding the Bus with My Sister, 1984, Slaughterhouse Five, The Fountainhead, Watership Down, Thinking in Pictures, Like Water for Chocolate, The Bourne Supremacy, Moby Dick, The Color Purple, The Bluest Eye, Naked Lunch, The Witchcraft of Salem Village (and anything else by Shirley Jackson).Of course Eyes of Desire 2.If a book is banned it immediately makes me want to read it.MICHEL FOUCAULT IS A GOD.

Heroes:

There are too many to mention. But I will say it would be great to see a Mohandes K. Gandhi High School ANYWHERE in the States open.
