I live and breathe film and television. I'm an avid lover of cinema and always fascinated by film history. As a film student and filmmaker, I think it's important to absorb the screen culture around us, appreciate it and even challenge it openly; sometimes even let it change us (for better or worse).

Having watched well over 1,000 movies and television shows (including episodes), as well as hundreds of video games, in my lifetime, I've still got a long way to go; and I love embarking on new journeys in the form of countless visual stories.

I'm not bias to any one genre, though I do believe that maximum emotional engagement can make great films. You can have a great film that resonates with the hardest-to-please audiences out there, as long as the story strikes a chord where anyone and everyone understands the depth of what they're watching. A story can have universal appeal and still be a genre-piece through and through.

I just like a well-done movie with a great story that leaves a lasting impression on me. In the end, that's all that matters in my mind.
