Stalker, a mysterious masterpiece from Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky. One of the most incredible film experiences I’ve ever had.

One of my favorite books to listen to, by the great Robert Heinlein. Rocketship Galileo.  A fun adventure yarn of the early atomic age!!

For anyone interested, here is a feature film that I made, which I just recently put up free to watch on YouTube. It is a very slow strange story of a young woman trying to deal with the pain and isolation of  her daily struggles with depression and social anxiety.   This is more of an arthouse film than a traditional movie, and it takes its time exploring Madelline's life, dreams, and subconscious mind.
