My Interests

Making movies, and watching movies. Plus, I'm really obsessed with all of Steven Speilberg's films In addition, I love all of Stanley Kubrick's, George Lucas, David Fincher's, Ron Howards, and M. Night Shayalaman's films. Oh yea and I'm obsessed with the movie Donnie Darko. seroiusly I will spend hours talking about that movie. And anyone who knows me, knows my Star Wars movies obsession and my ridiculous collection of Star Wars stuff. In addition, I also love the films of Luc Besson, Todd Field, Danny Boyle and Sam Mendes. I hang with Friends, I dig Science Fiction, Space, Discussing and reading philosophy, Playing videogames, Really good food, memorizing movie lines from my favorite films, and Travelling all over the world, listening to music and composing music, reading scripts, Oh yea and my insatiable Netflix addition.
