About Me

Watching movies and making movies; two things I love doing more than most other activities. I also have quite an enthusiasm for acting on both stage and film. Traveling (by airplane, on a road trip, etc.) brings me a strange sense of thrill; I wish I did it more often. I also love music and give myself plenty of time to listen to it, but I have no real talent for it.... soccer, racquetball, reading, art, curiosity, panthers, lord licorice, pardigms, highs and lows of smoking, spontaneous combustions, human sponges, ninjas, pumpkin pie, rooftop views, forks, LEGOs, cartography, obscurities, obscenities, obsessiveness, skydiving, calvin & hobbes, depression, risk (the game), swords, lucid dreaming, frayed knots, DMT, LSD, self-improvement, self-destruction, self-awareness, the seven chakras, love, love beyond love, love beyond the beyond. And I loathe the question "what's your favorite movie?", but if I MUST choose one, it is Memento. And also, if you are one who happens to give money to broke, starving filmmakers, keep me in mind. I'm not claiming to be worth your money... I just want to do what I love once in a while. :) After clicking on the ChipIn! button on the widget, copy and paste the URL into your browser.

With a 'K'

This one is another video created for Calvin's spring 25 Hour Film Festival competition. The theme this year was 'it's a small world after all'. The prop was a match, and the line was "that's so...

Knock Knock

Over the summer of 2005, my two friends (Lars and Zack) and I filmed some very conceptually odd videos. 'Knock Knock' was one of the less absurd of the videos we made. Hope you like. That is all...
