I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

i'm in love with music.

filmmaker, playwright, actor, painter, director, photographer, musician, insomniac.
And to think i almost became a veterinarian!

i run Silver&Cold Productions (indie film company), Bat Country Poets (theatre company), and the Wolfnotebook (mini-publication).

i am a bit obsessed with frogs; i hate mascots (they terrify me a bit).

i don't go looking for trouble; trouble comes looking for me. i will confuse, amuse, bemuse, and frustrate you at every turn. Get used to it.

(ps: also, if you love me, you will check out my friends' sites:) ..
