About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the world, work at festivals for film and music, meet creative people

ABOUT ME

I love film, music, books, art, culture, life. I am very laid back, easy to get along with, and adaptable, can talk for hours or keep to myself if need be.

PHILOSOPHY

This Cassavetes quote sums it up pretty well:

“I feel that people don't really do what they want to do. And I think it's much more important that you do what you want to even if it's wrong. We all get so chicken that we're afraid of our jobs, we're afraid of our wives, we're afraid of our children, we're afraid to go out in the street. I really think it's because we're too worried about the way we would appear. Fear is the basis for everything terrible. Fear is what causes all the horror in the world. No man achieves anything through fear. Fear isn't constructive. So the only thing that can save people in a spiritual or religious or in any way is to say I'm not afraid anymore. The minute they say they are not afraid they cannot commit a wrong act. There will be no such thing as a wrong act.”
