Also love: There Will Be Blood, The Wrestler, Shortbus, Fast Cheap and Out of Control, The Squid and the Whale, Together, Once Upon A Time In The West, The Lives of Others, Raising Victor Vargas. Most short films on Wholphin.

- More about me
-
I love documentaries. I love independent films. I love short films. 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.
