Hobbies
As a Talent Agent, one of the first questions I would ask a potential client was what their favorite movies were. I would ask this question because, I believe, this list could provide insight into an individual's personality, their strengths & weakness'; their perceptiveness, intuition and complexity of thought; are they right-minded or left minded; what is their level of intellect, their level of consciousness; is there inner child alive and thriving or withering away etc. So, with hope of enlightening you about who I am, my favorite films are as follows (in no particular order): - Ghostbusters (the original) - Beetlejuice - The Shawshank Redemption - Fight Club - Good Will Hunting - The Godfather: Part II - Pulp Fiction - The Matrix - One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - Back to the Future - The Green mile - The Lion King - Aladdin - Requiem for a Dream - Braveheart - Inglorious Basterds - Toy Story 3 - Full Metal Jacket - Inside Out - Casino - The Elephant Man - Jurassic Park - 12 Years a Slave - Titanic - Jerry Maguire - Dumb and Dumber and many, many more. I am also deeply ingrained in the lives and protection of animal, insects and nature. I have an inordinate amount of compassion, love and empathy for all sentient beings on this planet. I consider myself self-aware and a man of integrity. I believe, wholeheartedly, that what you put out into the universe, you get back in spades; therefore, I always take extra measures to ensure that I am doing my duties to the absolute best of my ability. I do my very best to ensure that every action and every word that comes out of my mouth is meant to uplift and, if need be, assist. I am also a joyous person with an abundant amount of energy. And if it wasn't already apparent, movies are more than my passion, they are my life. I live and breathe movies; I love to watch them and I love to make them. I am self-aware enough and confident enough to say that I am highly knowledgeable about film & screenwriting as an art and as a craft. I believe that movies have the power to uplift us, make us cry, make us think, make us laugh and smile; they have the power to change our lives and inspire us to live better ones. I also believe that filmmakers and screenwriters are artists, and as artists, it is our responsibility to create art for the sake of helping civilization progress on this tumultuous journey of self-discovery that we call life. For this reason, it is not only my duty but an honor to assist other aspiring filmmakers & screenwriters so that they may spark the flame that ignites the consciousness of all that are witness to their art. Whether you choose me or not, I thank you for your art and for your contribution.
