About Me

I'm a filmmaker. I'm an artist. I believe we are all responsible for what is happening in the World. We can always say NO. You do not have to obey to any idiot in power. You have what you have because someone, somewhere disobeyed. Think about that. We have a legacy of freedom that was not granted but won, by struggle. So we have a responsibility to not just give it away. We owe it to our fathers. And it's a legacy we should proudly pass to our children.

- Do you have a light?I didnt smoke, but I carried the lighter to light my joints. I searched in my pockets with my left hand, not knowing what to do with the half bitten muffin on my right hand.I gav...

Maria

Maria's beautiful pale face had dark and deep bags under her eyes. That was caused by the insomnia that took over her when she completed 17 years of age. They tried everything. But those deep dark b...

Tired

How I wish that only my portraits were getting old...Eternity is a punishment, not even Nosferatu was pleased with that prolonging, when everything dies around us... living is too tiring... we have tw...

Passion

I don't think love is the most noble of all the feelings... It's in the passion that soul manifests itself in the flesh... the legs shake and the eyes shine... the exaggeration... the irresponsibility...

Stability

I've created a world so personal that anybody that steps in soon seems an alien to me. Love is always calling me like a siren's chant. And I sometimes get chained and watch the suicide of the sirens....

Understanding

I don't understand this human need to understand the inexplicable.. Freud dared to dive into those deep waters. I've found a text from him, an analysis of the Jesus saying "love one another as you lov...

Desire

I found myself thinking about time again. It seems I've been here all my life. But how absurd is that! A whole life is as absurd as trying to measure time. Death never seems to come at the right one. ...

Picasso was near his work Guernica when a General came to him... he gave the painting a deep look and asked the artist: you did this? Picasso gave him a prompt reply: No, you did... The General did n...
