Born in Hebron, IN. Raised in Orland Park, IL. Both suburbs of Chicago. Both on the South Side (YAY YAAAAAYYYY!) Now I live in Los Angeles.
I'm a movie nerd. I make them. I watch them. I love them.
I like stories, but I'm not a big reader. I don't know why that is. Laziness, most likely, and that's a shame. I'd like to do better in the reading category. I like telling stories, but since I can't really communicate verbally with humans, I find that getting behind a lens is the best way to express myself.
These are the most recent things I have made:
I'm also into baseball in a big way. Big Chicago White Sox fan. Also follow the Bears and the Bulls (which is tough in Los Angeles).
Who I'd like to meet: [Dead]
Billy Wilder, Stanley Kubrick
[Living]
Michel Gondry, Steven Spielberg, Carlton Fisk, Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, Kiefer Sutherland, Stephen Colbert (I knew I should have said something to him at the Governor's Ball.)
