I saw Cinema Paradiso (1988) when I was 8 in 1998, now I work/write/breathe film. Bowie is everything. I love running, tattooing and Liverpool FC. My cat's name is Pina, a mix between Pina Bausch and Pina Colada, and my nephews are the best nephews.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Here's one that only sounds like three. Made every girl I ever loved, laugh. Made my mom cry on her 60th birthday in front of our family and friends, by reading a Pasolini poem translated by me. And made around one hundred kids happy by singing an improvisated absurd song on stage.

Teach, Learn, Share

Breathe by laughing regularly; feel by consciously drinking water.

What I Can Share with Hosts

The goal is purity.
