Music, Movies, and Books

***
classical music, jazz music or rock - as long as it's good!
***
Would love to write at least one novel like Orhan Pamuk. with depth, clarity and magic. 2) Kenzaburo Oe, the Japanese writer, the best. 3) Sometimes Dostoevsky. Take him in fifty pages at a time, by one, then intermission. Continue when you take a deep breath...)) British current authors tend to be very good, it's a tradition of a good school.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in Manhattan for 3 years, learned a lot.
I have lived in the US for 8 years, arrived there on a scholarship, when fifteen years old... challenging and difficult, to join a high school in a foreign country at that age.

But one doesn't give up. As a foreign exchange student, I learned a lot - I joined American school's running team and made lots of friends.

I graduated from SONY Script-Writing School and Literature Institute with a degree in creative writing.
Now I write movie and film scripts, and short stories. I have a book on Amazon and a movie made for Prime-Time National TV channel.
