Digital cinema and film. Visual storytelling. China and Chinese philosophies. Ways of using media to make the world a more tolerant and coherent place.
Music
Most all. Anything from minimalism (Philip Glass) to alt rock (Pearl Jam) to art rock (Peter Gabriel) to classical (Mozart) to mainstream (DMB, Damien Rice) to alternative (Mr Bungle). And more.
Movies
Yes. All types - the list is long and varied.
Television
Entourage, Boston Legal, Life, The Unit. But no misnomered 'reality' programming - except for my daughter's favorite show, Dancing with the Stars.
Books
Yes, almost without exception. The religions: Tao Te Ching, the Bible, the Koran, the Bhagavad Gita. A Brief History of Time. The World is Flat. Adventures in the Screen Trade. Ways of Seeing. Sight Sound and Motion. The DaVinci Code. Pope Joan. Harry Potter. Asimov. Donna Tartt.
Heroes
Siddhartha Gautama. Lao Tzu. Jesus of Nazareth. Muhammad. Martin Luther King. My dad. Not necessarily in that order.
About me: I'm the Coordinator and an assistant professor of the Electronic Media and Broadcasting program and at Northern Kentucky University. My focus is digital cinema - electronic storytelling and narrative filmmaking using digital technologies. But most of all I'm a husband and father.
