I'm an aquarian, artist in many senses, writer, filmmaker, pet lover, goofball, with my bachelor's in Film from UCSB. I left Orange County thinking I didn't belong, but I realized recently that it's the only place in SoCal that you do stuff 24 hours a day and still walk to the market in the middle of the night without getting mugged. Except maybe San Diego, but that's much too far from the film industry.
