This site contains is run as a depot for my own personal interests and work in audio, cinema, digital humanities and sound. All posts and ramblings are my own and do not represent in any way shape or form the views of my employer, mentors, parents or pets.
I graduated from UofT and studied Cinema Studies, Digital Humanities, Book and Media Studies and Music History and Culture.
I think the seed that may have sprouted my interest in film and cinema was planted back in the early 80s when I happened to pick up a copy of a cinema magazines which had some articles on Ridley Scott and the making of Blade Runner. A few years later on, while in between watching big blockbusters of the time such as Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and E.T., I saw a cool poster of a desert landscape and bought a ticket to see Wim Wenders' Paris, Texas, and I think that exposed me to my first real art film as a kid. I don't think I undertood what it was about until much later in life, but I became fascinated and obsessed with art cinema and the music of Ry Cooder ever since.
My two favorite films are Fredrico Fellin's 81⁄2 and Wim Wenders' King of the Road. I watch 81⁄2 at least once every year and I think it's one of those film's that reveals something new about itself every time you watch it.
Hopfully you find something interesting, entertaining and maybe useful here... enjoy your stay.
