I love watching movies, reading about movies, making videos, adjusting my Netflix queue and now my Facets queue as well. I also like ranting & exploring how much is wrong in the world and what on earth can be done about it. I love dancing and playing with my ferret. He is delightful!

I like documentaries, PBS, liberation, illumination, economic development (and debating the meanings of this term), dancing, laughing and Tanqueray.

I'm a film student in the MFA program at Columbia College Chicago. My future fantasy-self teaches and shoots social justice documentaries. Right now I work on video projects and my course work.

Talking about everything. This may seem like a useless skill, but it really comes down to knowing a little about everything, a lot about some things, and being able to think constructively. I'm working on all of these, but I can definitely still talk about almost everything under the sun. If you can stump me, I want to hear what you've got to say. It's also important to know when to listen.
I'm also good at traveling. I've been loads of places and am good at finding my way around, even some of the most confusing spots on the planet. I'm talking about you, Dubai! I like roughing it and winging it, which, when written down, looks ridiculous, but it's still true.

My smile, cute nose and pale skin. And then, the fact that I've got something to say. I'm smart but not all knowing, by any means.

Favorite food: Indian.
Favorite Music:
New Order; Richie Hawtin; Magda; Herbalizer; Orb; Orbital; Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings; Voxtrot; Bjork; !!! & Out Hud; Mavis Staples; Public Enemy; the Perceptionists & Def Jux; Matthew Dear; George Michael; Mission of Burma; Marvin Gaye; the Police; Stevie Wonder
Favorite Movies:
Ug, this is really hard for me to answer. If I could make any film, it would be something like "Why We Fight". I love "The Insider" and "Eternal Sunshine...". I adore classics like "The Last Laugh" and I like subtitles. They give me an excuse to watch a film twice. But the movies I've seen most are "The Princess Bride" and "When Harry Met Sally". I can't believe it myself, but Rob Reiner can be brilliant. And I have dreams about marrying Milos Forman.
Favorite Books:
anything by Michael Chabon, Angela Carter; honestly there aren't enough hours in the day for me to finish a book. Or at least there haven't been since 2004 when I re-read the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and that was because I flew from Japan to Australia to Japan to Chicago. Although I read 90% of "All the Names" by Jose Saramago this summer. It's sitting right next to my bed. And the magazines keep piling up and piling up, demanding my attention. Their curse is their timeliness; they quickly become worthless and wasteful.

Coca-cola; my ferret, Herman; movies; my voice; sleep; iPhone - if you think I'm a fool, you've never had one. Saved my life. Really. I'll tell you about it sometime.

what I really want to do next.

drinking with the ladies, going to a movie, laughing, shooting video, catching a show,

What could be called private if I'm willing to share it? Something embarrassing? I don't shower everyday.

you'd like to get a drink or get dinner or catch a movie.
