About me:
Personal:Horror movies, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu & MMA, travel, gaming, heavy metal, and most of all FOGO DE CHAO!!! I don't have much free time, but I do what I love, and I love what I do, so most of my interests manifest to some degree in my work. I'm heavily political, but try not pointlessly obsess unless I'm working on a project that allows me to actively influence government and/or society. Overall, I believe the wisdom of the universe can be summed up in two words: South Park!
Professional:
As a visual anthropologist and documentary filmmaker I've had the opportunity to travel extensively, explore diverse cultures, and work closely with incredible people.
I'm currently directing a feature documentary entitled "Don't Tell Me What to Think". The film explores the world talk radio, with an emphasis on the Fairness Doctrine and issues of free speech. For more info, send me a message.
Pending the release of my upcoming film, I'm unable to exhibit my more recent professional projects, but for fun I've uploaded a few clips from some of my early student films.
Education:
As an undergraduate at Rice University, I earned degrees in Anthropology, Art & Art History, and Visual Arts, before finishing my graduate work in Cinematic Arts at USC. I recently moved to New York, where I'm completing my PhD in Visual and Cultural Studies.
.. ..
Who I'd like to meet:
Artists, entertainers, and film industry professionals.I'm working on long term projects in Brazil and Eastern Europe, so I'm always looking to meet new friends abroad.
I also love working with SELECT bands and musicians(meaning I must truly like and believe in your music!)..
Anyone else interesed in Gracie jiu-jitsu, filmmaking, horror, Transformers, or any of my other eclectic interests, feel free to drop me a line.
