CURRENT MISSION

Get it sorted, write a novel.

ABOUT ME

Out-of-work film maker/aspiring writer; open and friendly, huge fan of alcohol. Generally calm, though often flamboyant when trashed- enjoy meeting good talkers and getting drunk in interesting places with them. Perpetually broke and proud of it: enjoy being unemployed and the general lack of responsibility. Love cinema, reading and loud pointless debates.

PHILOSOPHY

Never get into a situation you can't get out of in a moments notice; life is short, the world is big- see as much as you can while you're still alive; life is pointless, but try telling yourself that when you've spilt soup down your shirt.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Directed 3 short films- best buzz known to man- the entire rest of the world melts away and everything becomes about the film: if it doesn't impact your next shot it can fuck off. The team becomes a functioning family, you don't see anyone else for 2 weeks, or even care about seeing them- its a liscense to go mad and be as childish as possible... and when it works and you get something good at the end of it all it's the best feeling in the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

Film making, general film knowledge. Literary knowledge. A whole heap of useless pop culture information. Would like to learn lots of foreign swear words, if at all possible.
