Welcome to my official web site with all sorts of useless information regarding filmmaking, music, knitting fine cashmere sweaters, breeding frogs, how to actually grocery shop naked with out getting caught, moving films that will suck away hours of your life and of course, travel.
You can also view my latest short films and music videos by clicking on one of the three promo images above or from the "My Films" menu on the left. You will have to register to my site to view the clips. Also, check out the friends photo section which I update more often than I change my underware.

Where am I now? - Back n forth between Sao Paulo, Brasil and Los Angeles, CA USA
Let me introduce you to a spot on the planet I have discovered over the past 3 years. I'm not completely sure why I have been drawn to this magical place, but with it's layers of Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, African and Indian heritage, Brasil is an alluring and paradoxical land that has magnetically pulled me in. Idealistic and pragmatic, exuberant and passive, its people have survived colonialism, slavery, dictatorships and populism and now, struggle toward a viable capitalism in a society characterized by extremes of wealth and poverty. This country has the strongest contrast I have experienced and one of my projects is to somehow capture this on film.
Something I have learned along the way is you need to be open to take risks. Only those who risk going to far can possibly find out how far one can go. So, if you do one thing today, do something that scares the shit out of you! and, please promise me you won't waste most of your day on my site.
Did You Know?
Brazil now ranks as one of the world's leading producers of greenhouse gases, thanks in large part to the Amazon, the source for up to two-thirds of the country's emissions.
Even with the burning of the rain forest, Brazil's annual output of carbon pollutants is tiny compared with that of the United States, which produces nearly 6 billion tons.

Carbon Footprint is a measure of the impact human activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of green house gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide.

How much is a tonne of CO2?
1 tonne of CO2 emissions occupies 556 m3 of space at 25 degrees Celsius and standard pressure. The volume of water in an Olympic swimming pool is approximately 2500m3. Therefore the average household CO2 emissions in the UK (approximately 10 tonnes per year) would be enough to fill about two Olympic swimming pools and the average household emissions in the USA (approximately 20 tonnes per year) would be enough to fill about four and half Olympic swimming pools!
Did You Know?
Brazil has the world's highest death toll from firearms. With 100 million fewer citizens than the United States, it has 25 percent more gun deaths, at about 36,000 a year.
