About Me

You could say I'm your basic middle class belgian boy. Thanks to my parents I received an excellent education oriented in art (cinema) and litterature. I have worked as a director in the theaters (the video editing business was getting too lonely for me) and I honestly enjoyed every minute of it. I now work as supervisor of Audio-visuals at The Museum of Modern Art of Luxembourg, which is quite a wonderful (but exhausting) job.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many things to mention because these three particular categories pretty much define my life and who I am as a person.
While I can manage to enjoy every kind of music, I have a particular passion for rock music and all of its derivatives, in particular Rock and Hard rock from the 60ies to 80ies as well as Heavy Metal from the 80ies to 90ies.
I am a huge Orson Welles fan and have a particular love for the american movies of the golden age of the studios (1920 to 1956). Favorite directors might be Leo McCarey, Raoul Walsh, Sergei Parajadnov, Jean Cocteau, Georges Franju.

As far as books go, I am a complete book worm and read as much as I can. I am a greath enthusiast of the early 20th century great writers like Louis Ferdinand Céline, Joseph Conrad, Jean Cocteau, William Faulkner, John Dos Passos, Mikhail Boulgakhov. The late 19th century, "fin de siècle" kinda style really gets me going as well, Leon Bloy, K-J Huysmans etc and I'm a complete Dostoievsky freak!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been the fastest 12 year old of the country to run the 300meters. I stay unbeaten to this day!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to run (I've been practicing athletics for my all life), I know everything there is to know about moving pictures so I can recommend you tons of unknown classics and forgotten gems of the seventh art. If we meet ask me to bring you some nice movies on a usb stick or something!
I suppose I am a good cook and I can fix a lot of things, so don't be shy to ask!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am usually considered to be of good companionship. I'm always ready to joke and laugh.
