I am interested in unique, raw and honest artistic expression in any form... I think filmmaking is the greatest mash-up of many different forms, so that is my primary interest... currently :)
I want to meet brain-meltingly earth-shatteringly brilliant independent filmmakers that I can start a revolution with... Send them my way please...

To start, I am a proud student of ROB NILSSON and his DIRECT ACTION formula... very little set dialogue, primarily improvisation... This was the basis of my first film NAMELESS which can be viewed at www.productionhq.com/nameless ... to name a few directors. JOHN CASSEVETTES, Lars Von Trier, Atom Agoyan, Hal Hartley, anything with Marlon Brando. all indie movies, even if they suck, because they don't really, it's just really hard to make a movie with no money. Oh yeah and I love Contemporary French Films OLIVIER ASSAYAS...
I just watched some when I was at mom's house in MD for thanksgiving... it gave me a headache and an anxiety attack
Favorites are: 1984.. Tantric Quest... The Alchemist... Enders Game... Be Here Now...
hmmm... Peaceful leaders... Not politicians but real leaders... People that have shown excessive amounts of dicipline and restaint for the betterment of people everywhere... I would like to do that someday soon...
