About Me

Hey, welcome to my profile. Hmm. What to write about myself? A friend once described me as pensive. I don't know. I like dreaming, the cinema, reading, pizza, Korean bbq, cats, music that makes me feel like I'm levitating, meditation, human rights and women with sad eyes. I'm a film maker and an artist - you'll find some shameless self promotion, and a few films, on my film maker profile (below somewhere).

My Interests

psychology, psychoanalysis, dreaming, lucid dreaming, human rights, science, history, meditation, art, writing, music, cinema, film making / screenwriting, girls with sad eyes

I'd like to meet:
