Seth 的興趣
一般
Making movies, writing stories, drinking good tequila, vodka and occasionally this delicious Guatemalan rum called Ron Zapaca Centennario -- if you can find it, buy it. It's a dark rum that comes in a straw-covered bottle. I bought tons of it at the duty-free in Guat City a few years ago but it's long gone. Man, that was some good rum. You could drink it straight or on the rocks, would be a shame to mix it with Coke. Where was I? Swimming, sure that's an interest. Good books. Good films. Spicy food. Traveling through the 3rd world. The occasional wild night out where you watch the sunrise and wonder if you'll ever sleep.

Synopsis of my latest film, The Elephant King:
From the producers of the Sundance sensation, Eagle vs. Shark, and in the compelling vision of award-winning filmmaker Seth Grossman comes a timely story of lust, love, jealousy, and finding one's place in the world.
THE ELEPHANT KING is a provocative and stirring story of two American brothers, Oliver and Jake Hunt, adrift in an exotic world they don't fully understand. The film stars Academy Award® Winner Ellen Burstyn as a domineering mother who dispatches her young, introverted son Oliver (Tate Ellington) off to Thailand to do everything he can to lure his reckless, older brother (Jonno Roberts) back home to the US to face pending fraud charges. Oliver finds the intoxication of Thailand hard to resist, especially when it has a face as alluring as Lek’s (Florence Faivre).
As Oliver falls deeply in love for the first time, Jake slips deeper into despair, and the seams of their relationship begin to come undone. When the true extent of Jake's decadence and self-destruction is revealed to Oliver, he is forced to decide whether he will save his brother's life or his own.
我想認識： People of uncommon patience, generosity and intelligence, who can teach me useful phrases in foreign languages.
Just dropping by to let you know that I have a new album out entitled 'Anitya.' It is currently available for download from Amazon.com. It is album consisting of ten acoustic folk rock songs with traditional east asian influences. It centers around the idea of anitya or impermanence in Buddhism, and the interaction between failure and ideals. So take some time and enjoy the new songs! peace,
