CURRENT MISSION

Read a lot of theatre and come up with a good script

ABOUT ME

I am uncomfortable with the concept of writing "all about me". However, I can say that I enjoy very much being around people. I like movies - well who doesn't? yet I have not had a television for a long while. Just watching movies on a computer is so nice, because you have to think deliberately about which movie you want to watch, and are not driven by what is on offer on TV with the ads and all. I enjoy photography, and am trying to build up the skills to film a short movie one day. I studied economics, international affairs and, well, a bit of management. All extremely useful for directing a short movie, obviously.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach juggling with four onions. I am eager to learn juggling with five or even six onions. Or better still, six lemons.
And I speak French, if that's of any use.
I also have plans to write a play, develop a board game, write a script and a novel. So. Loads of plans.
