I like to talk, but don't like hearing myself. I read, write, and (occasionally) make movies. Coming to the all-too-common twentysomething realization that this "life" thing is going to be a little harder than I thought.

I just finished my first feature film. It's pretty great, I think. Working on another one. Ideally would like to write for television. Hour dramas.

Pretending I know more than I do, picking typefaces, producing obscure historical references.

Hair and, lately, the beard, which is technically also hair, but you know what I mean so don't give me that shit.
