CURRENT MISSION

To beat Qfwfq at dice...

ABOUT ME

I'm a freelance filmmaker living in Brooklyn, New York. I work on films and commercials (albeit at the bottom of the totem pole), as well as on my own projects. When I'm not working, I'm usually doing SOMETHING... though what it actually is varies from day to day. I like to keep my life as varied as possible.

That being said, "varied" means, at one point or another, making art, goign to shows, going to bars of some sort, going out dancing, attending the cinema, opera, theater, etc., and generally having adventures.

PHILOSOPHY

Never say no to an experience, never deny anyone else an experience.
