Half Indian, Quarter German, and Quarter Croatian. I was born and raised in Whittier, California, and currently attend USC, studying film. I hope to write for TV shows in coming years, but for now, I just need a couch to sleep on!

Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing

When you're a student, you can't afford to stay in fancy shmancy hotels. Plus, I'll meet more people (and potential characters) this way.

Zainteresowania

I love writing. From short stories, to short scripts, to five sentence stories, to full on feature films. I love to entertain people with tales.

A hobby of mine is people watching. I'll sit and grab a cup of coffee and just watch the world go by. You learn a lot about character building from just watching people.

Muzyka, filmy i książki

I was raised on classic rock and blues. I've slowly come to love indie rock and electronic music.

Movies... Man... I could talk about movies for hours... but I won't! I will watch any movie put in front of me.
My top 5 movies are:
Lost in Translation
Indiana Jones (All three of them... Nope... Not four... Don't know what you're talking about)
Back to the Future Parts 1-3
There Will Be Blood
Saving Pvt. Ryan

From Harry Potter to John Steinbeck. I try to read all I can.

Jedna niesamowita rzecz, którą zrobiłem(-am)

An amazing thing I've done? Yeesh... That's a lot of pressure... Ummm... All right well...

When I was thirteen I wanted to be a stand up comedian. Coming from a family of doctors, my family wasn't as supportive as I wanted them to be. So I talked to my teacher and got the chance to open for the school play on three separate nights.

I wrote 20 minutes of material. I was pretty impressed with myself. I killed it at rehearsal, but my teacher had to cut my material down to 10 minutes, and later down to 5.

I thought my material was great, but unfortunately what kills with a bunch of Junior High students won't necessarily make 700 parents, aunts and uncles, and grandparents roar with laughter.

My friend overheard some parents making fun of my hair cut, which was a bowlcut at the time. I was pretty bummed but after a while I came to realize not many people have done a stand up show in front of so many people at such a young age.

I thought it was pretty amazing.

Czym mogę się podzielić z gospodarzami

I can share my knowledge of film making with hosts. That sounds like a skill that no one would really need but you'd be surprised!

Film making can be applied anywhere from home movies to making a presentation for work. You just need to know the basics and you can apply them anywhere.

From editing on simple programs like iMovie to putting the right settings on your DSLR, I can help you out!
