I'm an independent filmmaker currently working in retail. I love films (watching them, making them), reading, and conversation. I have a cat named Stella. (Any Tennessee Williams fans out there will know why it's fun to call her for dinner.) I can't stand the guck that grape juice leaves on my tongue. I am inspired by the little plants that grow out from the cracks in the sidewalk. My favourite Spongebob Squarepants character is Squidward. I've seen Slumdog Millionaire 7 times... although that number may have increased by the time you read this.

A noiseless, patient spider
I mark'd where on a little promontory it stood isolated,
Mark'd how to explore the vacant vast surrounding,
It launch'd forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself,
Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them.

And you, O my soul where you stand,
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space,
Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them,
Till the bridge you will need be form'd, till the ductile anchor hold,
Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O my soul.
- Walt Whitman
