- More about me
-
I love documentaries. I love independent films. I love short films. I love South Africa. I love making things and pulling things apart. I love Meerkats. I love cheese. I love tequila, whisky, red wine and beer but not necessarily in that order because that would be bad. I want a pair of moon boots and to live forever.
