About Me
I've been obsessed with horror films and take pleasure in having nightmares since I was as young as five years old. For virtually as long as I can remember I've dreamed of being a movie director. I have always viewed films with a critical eye towards what I would have done differently had I been the director responsible for a particular movie I happen to be watching at the time, but I don't think this way when a director has a strong enough vision to overide this unfortunate tendendcy of mine, such as is normally the case with Kubrick or David Lynch. I'm into the underground music & art scenes and enjoy attending live concerts and participating in jam sessions as well as spoken-word. I enjoy the company of and strive to continually cultivate association with all sorts of artistic types. I do believe "true" compassionate values are important, but not so-called "neo-conservative" values.

"A truly successful cinematic accomplishment inevitably results in the absolute compulsion of the viewer to discuss the film in question with one or more others for the duration of at least a good fifteen minutes, subsequent to initial screening."
