Movies and more movies. When I'm not making movies, I like to travel (either via a plane or my car). I try to learn something new every year. A few years back I took breakdancing. Last year it was tap dancing. This year I'm learning how to do special effects with my home computer. Next year I want to learn how to ride a motorcycle. It's hard being a double agent.
