movies, music, playing guitar
other filmmakers, actors interested in appearing in low budget indie flicks, musicians, movie fans, producers, local bands who want video footage or a music video shot, horror flick fans, Hollywood bigshots who want me to direct a movie, funny people, other folks who enjoy having a good time
Too many to list - if it's got soul and a groove I probably like it. Led Zeppelin, Allman Brothers, Zappa, Clapton, SRV, Parliament, James Brown, etc.
That Could be a Problem, Johnny Ray in Hell (currently in production), the list of influences and movies I love goes on and on.
Filmmakers who have started out on their own doing things their way and eventually made it to the big time - Peter Jackson, Robert Rodriguez, Quentin Tarantino, George Romero, Sam Raimi, the Coen brothers, etc.
