The pursuit of novelty

ABOUT ME

Hey I'm Bert and I'm 24. I used to live in Toronto but recently decided for some reason to quit my sweet job, sell all my stuff and go traveling. Eventually I'll end up in Stockholm to live. Heres some interesting facts about me:

-Up until recently I worked at MTV + MuchMusic directing, shooting and doing motion design.

-On my spare time I make documentaries, drink, go out, do creative projects including animation, art and design, play music sometimes, love music all the time, talk, watch documentaries and good movies.

-I had never been on a plane until two years ago, but now have traveled a bit of europe in the past two summers and am back here for more.

-I really enjoy meeting random strangers and seeking out new experiences.

-Love to have crazy deep conversations about the world, news, politics, art, design, technology, science and life sometimes. But equally like to spend a night cracking the stupidest, immature, most non-sensical jokes other times.

教，学，和分享

I'm really good with video cameras and post production as well as animation and graphic design. I also have been playing guitar, bass and drums the majority of my life. Am happy to share some of this expertise if you're interested. As well I spend a lot of time reading about politics and following news beyond the mainstream media. Love to take any opportunity to have deep conversations about the state of the world. Also I have lived in Toronto since 2006 so I've gotten to know the city pretty well and am happy to give recommendations of cool things to check out.
