About Me


3 scars + I cut my own hair + I drink coffee in whiskey glasses + I can't get used to paying attention to street lights.


I have a lot of names but what I do is somewhat chronicled in these websites:
HTTP://WWW.DISHWASHERSTUDIO.COM
HTTP://WWW.SINGLEREEL.ORG
Current Projects:
1: (in production) a feature film: 9/8
2: (in production) a short film: Mirrorless
3: (in progress) a play: The Big Sink
4: (always in progress) a long film of short parts: Libraries of Man
Mirrorless, I've got to talk to someone quick.

On muddy streets, I sometimes, stand still and think about these things, hoping that confetti will fall along with the snow:
+ The main question that needs no answer is: Are we trying to create a useless but commonsensical library of mankind?
+ Has the gardener fallen asleep or was there no gardener to begin with? Just a garden overflown with poison vine and wounded flowers dangling from trees. I know there's fence and a gate. Both can be jumped over with a blind horse.
+ The moon is made of cheese. Everyone knows it, no one is saying, because it makes them look silly.
+ The night is pleasing for one simple reason: it supresses idle details. (JLB) At night, there's only you, me and the others. The night accents the human. Voices mean more.
+ Most of the time, there's no need for a map. Just a blind horse will do.
+ If I could ask for one miracle, it would be to suspend a pair of dice in midair.
+ But I am not asking for a miracle. Magic is not the opposite of nonmagic.
+ I believe that whiskey is mine.
+ Robert Walser died alone in the middle of a field of snow just like the character in his first novel. Some riddles are not riddles at all. Not at all.
+ I believe that whiskey is mine. (Did I say that already?)
+ Sometimes if you think of time as circles of one-moment-behinds, everything seems clearer. As if the immediate past didn't happen yet. If you can roll life back a few moments, so much beauty is unrevealed.
+ I am only certain of one thing about the world and it is this: There is no difference between what is referred to as "reality" and "metaphor." None. Nada. If you can't trust and rely on metaphors, you are fucked. Truly and totally fucked. Your life will suck. Learn to give life to metaphors. All life is hidden there. Everything.
+ All good things are glass-caged.
WHEN I AM NOT STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF MUDDY STREETS AND WAITING FOR CONFETTI TO FALL, I MAKE FILMS. STILLS FROM 9/8:

She ain't no angel, she is just dancing.

There were others, glass-caged and pretty. Maybe I'll say hello, exchange money.
The ring will come.


Fire puts out water.

Do you love this? Do you?

We don't know what we're taking revenge from.

You ate the fish I didn't eat.

My Interests

Female Behavior + Male Behavior in reference to Female Behavior + Whiskey + Tobacco + People + This dream people call human life + Clarinets + Ties (and why I can't wear them) + Red coats + Red shoes + Buckets + People who cry all the time + the very rare people who actually have an unpredictable idea of what time is (or what time it is) + Fish + Eggplant + AUTOMATONS + Boats + Ships + Harbors, specifically Athens (Piraeus) Harbor + Tangiers Harbor + Brindisi Harbor + Istanbul harbor + Sketchy hotels at these harbors + Suitcases + People who carry suitcases at the harbor + Tickets + Chess + Clean bathrooms + Cactus + all things that are hardly there + Insignificance and irrelavance + I like the words regardless + nevertheless.

I'd like to meet:

It must've happened this way: I sold her golden bracelet to the man at the harbor. She sold her shoes. Nikolai sold my clarinet. I bought her doubtful eyes and pale voice. She bought my moustache. Nikolai stole the money and left us at the bar. We made a hole in the wall and put a piece of her golden hair in it, locked it up and waited for the sun to come up. Birds sang. Blossoms appeared again. We made it home alive.

I'd NOT like to meet:(in order of intolerance)
therapists + psychiatrists
journalists
activists
documentary filmmakers
priests
scientologists

Music:

Grinderman + Leonard Cohen + Nick Cave + Tom Waits + BOB DYLAN + Serge Gainsbourg + Charlotte Gainsbourg + Jane Birkin + Louise Attaque + Kurt Cobain + Mr. Cash + all the actual poor musicians that made Bregovic really rich.

Movies:

Mike Leigh + Brothers Quay + Herzog + Fassbinder + Chaplin + Fellini + Svankmajer + Greenaway + (recently Tony Krantz)
NOT Tarkovsky + NOT Goddard + NOT Bergman. NO Thanks!

Books:

Jorge Luis Borges + Robert Walser + Nietzsche + Edgar Morin + Rumi + Burroughs + I used to like Kafka + Camus but we had a big fight and things got ugly.

Heroes:

There's a man at the harbor in Piraeus. He is not crazy. Not at all. Not in the way we'd like him to be.
There are others, repeating themselves perpetually, in beautiful glass cages, pretty and insistent.
