About Me: Film student at York University indulging my passion for screenwriting, film theory, history, production. Now in my final year, I'm working towards a career in Toronto's film festival circuit.
Favourite Film: I experienced Memento at the Cumberland opening day, with my blood pumping I grabbed a different friend and immediately saw it again. Put me under a spell like nothing else. Christopher Nolan can do no wrong.
Favourite Concert: The Musical Box's recreation of Genesis' Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. Spot-on recreation of the 1974 tour, with original slides, costumes et al. The album is a full fleged story about life and death! Stories are the best. You should know that I've got a soft spot for progressive rock.
Favourite Non-Fiction Book: Buddhism Plain & Simple: The Practice of Being Aware, Right Now, Every Day by Steve Hagen.
Favourite Place to Be: Toronto in September during the Film Festival.
