About me: Indianapolis transplant who has recently earned a master's degree in cinema and media studies in New York City. A screenwriter, playwright, essayist, singer, and occasional filmmaker. As an artist, I tend to be more influenced by modernism than postmodernism, but I am influenced by both. I write material without regard to genre, but simply the ideas and images that I wish to express. This difficult-to-categorize nature has made my work difficult to market. My work often has horror and fantasy imagery, sometimes science fiction imagery, but tends to have a dramatic structure all its own, and I try very hard to avoid the obvious in a way that still flows and feels absolutely right. Text: Steve Gerber; Illustration: Val Mayerik
I'm quiet, introspective, and enjoy reading, and that's not the easiest way to meet people, and certainly was not effective during college or gradschool. I am something of an ivory tower intellectual, artistic, opinionated, underemployed, spiritual (attend a non-mainstream church regularly), affectionate, non-smoker, non-drinker, no drugs. I am interested in cinema, theatre, (my tastes lean toward the avant-garde), classical music & opera (with a preference for post-War/contemporary/minimalist work, but my taste is much broader than that), classic and progressive rock,museums, literature, history, and science. I enjoy debating political views and do not adhere to any particular party (and since New York doesn't have an open primary, I don't vote in primary elections). I am not really into sports, especially not watching them on television. The tests below the list of my major writings are those that I feel best reflect my personality and I would estimate their accuracy to be in a percentile in the high nineties, except maybe the Advanced Global Personality Test, which I don't really get. Those I don't feel so strongly about go in my blog only.
