Interests

  • General

    travel. music, painting. museums. renaissance lit. neurotica. tibetan philosophy. The words "Vanum Populatum" came to me in a dream I had where I heard a voice speaking to me in Latin. I looked it up to find it means "strip away, annihilate all that is hollow or unreliable (vanity)." good luck on that one.
  • Music

    anything by a guy named 'howlin,' 'ramblin' or 'muddy' - van morrison, norah jones, bruce, stingola, martini ranch, rickie lee jones, nechung monks, stones, keith jarret, jo krasovitch, deron johnson both in my top 8. i play blues piano, our band's played the House of Blues trice, spent a year and half playing Les Deux in its heyday.
  • Movies

    In light of recent events in Tibet, I've decided to put my film onto youtube for free: here's the first installment, if you'd like to hear from Tibetans themselves what they think of trying to help the Chinese "save face" from the troubles in Tibet. "Tibetan Refugee Part One" Tibetan Refugee Part Two Tibetan Refugee Part Three Tibetan Refugee Part Four Tibetan Refugee Part Five I've written and/or directed 8 1/2 feature films - My Champion, You Can't Hurry Love, Three For the Road, Camera-Dogme #15, Cannes Man, Point of Betrayal, Limit Up, My Bollywood Bride and 3 documentaries; Tibetan Refugee, Journey into Tibet and Sister Cities "White City, Windy City." .. Part of a film I'm doing about Amelia Earhart. .. My first film, made in high school. .. Eha Urbsalu does a video for her boyfriend as to why she's leaving him. .. Clones at Greaser's Palace - Luana Anders plays all the parts in the USC student film from 1980 .. "Lost Angels" Look for Daryl Hannah in her first film role, and David Marconi as her love interest. .. "Paraclete" Luana Anders in a George Edwards produced short I made while a film student at USC back in the 80's.
  • Television

    it's not t.v., it's... entourage. simpsons. i find myself watching alot of dora, noggin, and other wacky shows these days. can you sing theme songs from t.v. shows in the 60's? isn't that odd that those tunes are what i remember most?
  • Books

    dharma stuff by robt thurman. obscure renaissance texts. the pazzi conspiracy by harold acton. the letters of constantine. poliziano. i'm a scribe myself, and feel guilty i'm not writing when i'm reading someone else. i feel the same way watching a lame movie. i write freelance, been published in premiere, daily variety, inc.com and usa today commenting on "idol."

    Brighter days you'll ever see

    Touch your heart in every way
    Not only on your birthday
    But every single day

    Have a wonderful birthday my dear friend!
