| Introduction | Like a selfish narcissist, grappling the mirror salivating just to talk about me, well...I am a Film Scholar, Enthusiast, and all around Cinephile. I graduated from CSULB with a Bachelors of Arts in: Film Theory and Practices in Cinema. Specializing in screenwriting, I have written several short films like: Squealing Disgrace, The Scar, and The Inheritance. I have also written band reviews for High Wire Daze (in print and online). As much as I am a film nut, I will have to say that I have a voracious passion for music, okay, the truth is, I am a music junkie. I am like a decrepit zombie rotting to the marrow, tripping over mangled feet, just for a hypodermic fix for the audible noise that thumps through my speakers, tapping toes, while tapping the ruptured vein, and the assault hits me like an armor piercing round straight to the sanguine pump. Blam, blam blam! I played in many punk, rock, blues, and metal bands, such as: B. T. Fats and the Dirty Birds, Funeral Party, S.F.D., Psychosexuals, Negative Erection, Necrotic, The Crooks, Meat Cleaver Messiah, Terrorism, Zipper Pigs, and Severed Nuns to name a few. I want to declare a discursive war on film mediocrity! Cheers! |
