Location	Seoul, South Korea
Introduction	The discoveries we make as we swing from tree to tree are, at the very least, worth sharing.
Interests	My interests include narratives, films, music, photography, food and moderate exercise (at times), some of which I might write about on occasion.
Favorite movies	This is an extremely difficult list to compile as it is largely dependent on my mood, but some gems, like The Double Life of Veronique, The 400 Blows, the films of Almodovar, Wes Anderson, Kieslowski, Kubrick, and Wilder do stand out. I actually really like and enjoy Citizen Kane. And, of course no collection is complete without the original Star Wars trilogy.
Favorite music	Arcade Fire, Beirut, Ben Folds, The Decemberists, Elliot Smith, Iron and Wine, Jeff Buckley, Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, The New Pornographers, Nina Simone, Stars, Sufjan Stevens, Tori Amos, Vampire Weekend
Favorite books	I haven't read nearly enough fiction to my liking, but A.S. Byatt and J.M. Coetzee are huge presences in my narrative fiction frame of of reference. Jeanette Winterson has always intrigued me. Some classic authors I enjoy are Henry James for his gift of over-description and Oscar Wilde, particularly for The Picture of Dorian Gray. Some of my favourite works of non-fiction include Karen Armstrong's A Short History of Myth, Robert McKee's Story and Braudy and Cohen's Anthology of film articles, Film Theory and Criticism.
