Sisyphe, le mythe

I'd like to meet:

A film-maker who's also fairly comfortable working with animated stuff, to collaborate with. Talk to me. It should be mutually beneficial.

and

Friends I thought I lost// Pretty girls in glasses//people to watch obscure movies and plays with// Kindred beatnik-bohemian spirits// kindred believers in that higher, spiritual Something// a tabla player// people who play with quiet rage// people who play violently with an underlying zen// post-modern rock grrrls (ok...guys too) who may fumble through daily life, but shine when behind an instrument and/or mic// hippie-chicks with the dread-lock and ethnic-skirt-thing happenning, who can play flute free-jazz style to Indian classical, over trip-hop beats, and sing lead and harmony// modern-jazz dancers who can express complex, abstract moods and ideas using only the controlled movements of their bodies// political or social scientists who'll sip on martinis and shake a leg at turntablist soirees// guys who aren't afraid of their femininity because their dad was a tool like that// girls who aren't confined to their societally-imposed gender roles (like, yeah, offer to buy me a drink ;-D! ) // people who see compassion as strength, not a weakness // well-travelled writers/journalists who educate their enviroment, by just being there// disheveled scientists consumed with finding a cure for a disease, or alternative source of energy// millionaires who have, or would, give it all up at the drop of a hat to pursue missionary/humantarian work because of a pressing urge from within, or above, or wherever// pretty much anyone who knows enough to know that they don't know that much...
