About Me

I am a filmmaker, journalist, and photographer based in Adelaide. I am currently freelancing in each of these areas.

My Interests

atheism, film (making and watching), music (making and listening), the media, the global justice movement, thinking, reading, writing, cyberculture, technology, the impending socio-ecological apocalypse.. lots of other stuff..

I'd like to meet:


Music:

Lots of stuff (I don't trust people who say 'everything').. drum n bass, hip hop, punk, ska, mellow beats, soundscapes, classical when I'm in the mood.. dnb: DJ Fresh, Pendulum, Andy C etc.. Renegade Hardware, Breakbeat Kaos, Metalheadz, Trouble on Vinyl, Moving Shadow etc.. bands: NOFX, propagandhi, operation ivy, system of a down, radiohead, screeching weasel, nirvana, regurgitator, flaming lips etc.. hip hop: eminem, dangerdoom, ugly duckling, the streets, jay z, sage francis, blackstar, the herd.. so much other stuff.. radio stations: three d radio, jjj, radio adelaide, fresh fm.. unmetered internet radio (internode!) is a godsend.. love cleaning round the house with bassdrive up loud; beat blender, jazz or classical when I need to think..

Movies:

Far too many to list here.. most stuff involving: stanley kubrick, quentin tarantino, david cronenberg, steven soderburgh, david lynch, spike jonze, michel gondry, todd solondz, larry clark, charlie kaufman, godfrey reggio.. I love a good ..ary - I think the progressive ..aries (mostly American) from the past 15 years have been a much-needed antidote to the prevailing political climate.. I think the screenwriter's importance is understated.. I like good characters, good dialogue, comedy, films that are a bit messed up, realism.. tend to hate films that have been cut by test audiences or have been endlessly rewritten.. oh, and euphemism or moderation for the sake of family-friendly classification pisses me off..

Television:

the simpsons, the office, extras, media watch, the movie show, at the movies, cutting edge, dateline (except I don't like george negus).. good docos on sbs n abc..

Books:

1984, Brave New World, Island, No Logo, The Culture of Fear, The Age of Consent.. Noam Chomsky, Hunter S Thompson, William S Burroughs, William Gibson..

Heroes:

Noam Chomsky, George Monbiot
