WELCOME!
I am a writer, working in the film industry and having tons of adventures.
I have included a blog, where I write about film, writing and art. The goal is to spark discussion and dialogue, rather than pass judgement and critique, so I encourage you to read, respond (respectfully, of course), and be part of the conversation, whether you are an expert or just someone with an interest. I may even have interviews with filmmakers, other audience members, and other notable people from time to time to keep it interesting. To make sure you don't miss any posts, you can subscribe via RSS.
