CURRENT MISSION

Writing and directing film and theatre

ABOUT ME

My two greatest loves are film and travelling. I'm a (wannabe) playwright and have written and directed student plays and films. I'm studying Russian and Philosophy, both of which are big interests too, but the main hook is the 14 month year abroad that can take place anywhere in the world.

PHILOSOPHY

I will answer this after I've got a degree in philosophy. For now the personal philosophy is to get the degree.
