Introduction Father of three, husband of the wonderful Michele Hunter. Deeply committed to filmmaking as an art form; please ignore the irony that I work in Hollywood. Rock climber of 27 years experience, author, amature photographer. Politically, socialism is my starting point because it is the only political discourse that is willing to be critically engaged with democratic reform, and because the project for radical democracy holds great promise for the potential of an ethical state.
Interests Film making, Post Structural theory, Kinesiology, rock climbing, ethics. Art History, Psychology, literature, poetics, contemporary Socialist political theory.

Not so random Quotation: "I don't very much like the word love, which is worn out and debased. Let us speak instead of the taking upon oneself of the fate of the other." - Emmanuel Levinas
