About Me |
|
| Most my friends think I am funny and a good story teller. But... I also think I am a good listener and love a good story.
I have lived in many places throughout the U.S.A. Mostly the major cities. I have lived in four countries abroad; London,UK, Wellington, New Zealand, Bogota, Colombia, and Gumi, S. Korea. I have a degree from UCLA in history, but believe the best education was through my travels. I am currently in the journalism program at UCLA. I substitute teach for $$$ right now. I have taught full time in a wide variety of settings and in two countries abroad. I am interested in documentary filmmaking. I made one short film on human rights abuses in Colombia. I would love to expand that into a feature length. Been trying to find funding for 5 years. While waiting for "someone to show me the money" for the doc, I buy 2 lottery tickets per week.:) If you feel inclined, you can view the film by clicking the link below. It's 12 minutes. The Silent Scream Add to My Profile | More Videos Or if you are really interested in what's going on in Colombia, you can go to my website (my film is streaming there as well) and read about Marino Cordoba, the history of the war, etc. at www.venturafilms.com.

My Interests |

| I like hiking, biking, going to the movies, sharing good conversation over a meal, reading books, Sunday drives in the country, road trips, traveling to foreign lands. | |
I'd like to meet:Dream people I'd like to meet: Kofi Annan, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Dan Rather, Kurt Vonnegut, Neil Young, Betty Ford, and the man of my dreams, Gael Garcia Bernal, the Mexican actor in Babel. Don't think I have ever seen a man more beautiful in my life.:)On this site, I'd like to blog and meet folks who are interested in engaging in a free exchange of ideas on a variety of topics. Music, books, politics, travel, etc. I was encouraged to get a myspace account by friends who enjoy reading my emails. So I am trying this out. |

Music:I like most music played on KCRW public radio in Santa Monica (89.9 on your radio dial and streaming on line at kcrwmusic.com) I like the new Camera Obscura song, "Lets Get Out of this Country." |

Movies:Recent movies I have seen and loved are Blood Diamonds, Babel, Volver, Little Children, and The Holiday.Some old favorites are Traffic...actually like all Steven Soderbergh films. Also just loved Thelma and Louise, Out of Africa, White Palace,The Fisherking, Pulp Fiction, Crash (the one with Matt Dillon), Fight Club, and last, but not least, Mi Familia. Just love this movie, all the actors, and the man who wrote and directed it, Gregory Nava. That stone cold fox, Jimmy Smits, is in this film. There is a scene with Jimmy without a shirt. So sexy. I think I could love him forever.:)Some Indie favorites are the old Hal Hartley films, especially loved Trust. Other Indies I enjoyed were Amores Perros, Magnolia, Cinema Paradiso, Orlando, Blood Simple, Sex Lies and Video Tapes, Lost in Translation. |
