Music, Movies, and Books

I'm currently reading Les Miserables, the unabridged version. It's very intense and has taken me over four months to conquer. I'm almost done with it now. I love David Mitchell's novels. I love reading about Film Studies.

I've almost completed writing a book on the Italian filmmaker, Ermanno Olmi.

I love all kinds of films. Recently, I really enjoyed Parasite.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time I jumped into a moving car that was rolling down hill and stopped it before it ran into another car. It was the only time in my life I thought I could be in action movies.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a PhD in Film and Media Studies. I'd be be happy to talk about film.

What I Can Share with Hosts
