Film, i'm just in love with the film world and always have been. I also love art specificly sketching, comic-book panel style, graphics, design anarchy. Not all that 'painting done by a toddler gets a gahjillion pounds' shit.
On a lighter note, i'm also a really big fan of Daft Punk. Own all their albums, love literally all their music, every track is sacred :D. But other than that my interests are mostly film, writing, music, jogging, travelling...


Favourite Films:


The Dark Knight - Captured as an epic crime saga involving the story arc of Dent and the duality of everything. Two sides of the same coin and their epic introduction to eachother. Its a sin how huge it became in terms of popularity but my, my what a perfect vision of how Batman should be. As a selfconfessed Batman fan, it is the stuff of dreams come true and only betters' Batman Begins due to the build up and rise of his most unpredictable and deadliest foe, The Joker. Heath Ledger made the perfect realistic version of the character ever imagined so far.

Reservoir Dogs - Vintage, iconic, stylish. Tarantino's second greatest film ever made and my personal favourite. As my favourite director due to how perfect he places things in and has the right mindfor narrative, Quentin's Dogs nail the essence of coolness, just watch the Little Green Bag exit out of the diner. Or Mr. Blonde's gleeful ear cutting.

Pulp Fiction - Where the hell do i start, this film instantly struck a new with me, introduced me to a new style of filmmaking back when i was younger. The narrative is just excellent, the way all of the characters tie into eachother and the subtleness of it all. And so, so vibrant. I simply love this film.

Batman Begins - I and millions alike will tell you this is the way Batman should've been and should be. I love the gimicky retro Batman, seventies dance n all. But when it comes down to it, this is exactly why i like Batman. Nolan, my second favourite director just nailed everything. To me, its an epic film and the first true milestone in the superhero genre. 'It's not who i am underneath, but what i do, that defines me' as he descends to the dark city, gliding. Goosbumps.

LOTR: Fellowship Of The Ring - This was my first true inspiration to become a filmmaker. Everything in the film just brings me back, its epic, iconic, a true masterpiece.

Cloverfield - Bought into the viral campaign and was very, very impressed with the film. To me it was like an event but the actual film i would say is a rare gem.

LOTR: The Two Towers - I remember getting all of the action figures, the game, the four disc extended edition with appendicies. SO spectacular in terms of scale. And the Uruk Hai meeting the Orcs, genius.

Jurassic Park - This brings back so many memories, i loved dinosaur as a kid and naturally this was IT. Wanted to be a paeleontologist and all. The T. Rex's intro is still my favourite scene. You have to love that Tyrannosaur, *bleep* the spino, which the T.Rex batters until his (wronged) death in the JP3.

LOTR: The Return Of The King - The one that brought sadness as it reached its end, sad, but true. I couldn't believe it was actually ending. A trilogy that basically couldn't be any greater, as a film it is awe-inspiring. As a trilogy, it is a masterpiece. Tis my verdict! :)

The Usual Suspects - I admire how sophistocated this is and as an aspiring writer/director i just find it so special. It has one of the best endings in the history of crime genre films and Keyser Soze is one of the greatest criminals/villains in film history. But who is he?
