i freakin' LOVE this film:
Television
Television. Good band. Nuthing much more to say 'bout it...Oh, if you mean TV-- well...f--k it.
.."left">.."right">
Books
oh geez, i left this blank for way too long...books, books!! i grew up with a dad who is a small press publisher and book fanatic. when i say fanatic-- i mean that literally. the guy will be buried with his books. anyway, i'm partial to books on Buddhism and, of course, filmmaking...anything by Jack Kornfield, Pema Chodron, Stephen Levine, Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, and Thich Nhat Hanh (he's so poetic-- i adore his face).
Heroes
Let's get this straight....Gandhi is the epitome of a hero. Nelson Mandela too.
The list goes from there:
Mom, Dad, Buddha Shakyamuni, Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, Vajrayogini, Thich Nhat Hanh, Martin Luther King Jr., the Dalai Lama, the Beastie Boys, Bjork, Spike Jonze, Lars Von Trier, Michael Gondry, David Lynch, Chris Cunnigham, Harmony Korine, Larry Clark, Parker Posey, Christina Ricci, Madonna, Mother Theresa, Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon
My Buddhist teachers: Kadam Lucy James, Kadam Morten Clausen, Gen Kelsang Wangchen, and Tobin Giblin
Who cannot love Che Guevara?
Jack Keruoac (sickly talented and beautiful)
JONATHAN CAOUETTE (artistic genius-- suck it up-- it's about time for the next wave of edgycinema!)
Werner Herzog-- master filmmaker, true cinematarian, rebel yell film genius. Maker of Fitzcaraldo, Grizzly Man, Little Dieter Learns to Fly, Wheel of Time, etc. Inventor of 'ecstatic truth'!
Definitely, anyone who follows their heart to the fullest extent possible!!!!

i'm a filmmaker who loves meditation, yoga, eating healthy food, and trying to keep the world a peaceful place. i love 'outsider' art, foreign and indie films, and anyone that pushes the envelope with their creativeness. i'm a libra- so by nature i am the diplomat..an active listener, always trying to balance the scales. i love travelling and meeting new people.
Hey chicka! I am trying to re-cut my short doc for a sundance submittal! other than that im enjoying the LA hospitality (or lack thereof, i miss SF!) and just keeping up the Hollywood hustle :)
Sorry you couldn't come to the Bode Broad Exhibition Opening it was awesome! Check out th' pix of the event on my page. Don't forget next Saturday March 1st is my opening reception!
WOW... on his latest album, Hospital Music, there is actually a COVER of a Daniel Johnston song called "True Love Will Find You in the End." Spooky, yet awesome, that you made that connection.
Hey Sarah, thank you for watching my films... and thank you for your kind words. Well, I will come back to USA as a soon as a posible. I am making a new short... I hope to enter Sundance :P
