Bonhoeffer
I never paid much attention to history in school, maybe because every important event in history was given to me with a number and fact. I didn’t even read, The Diary of Anne Frank.

Its Cool to be a Nerd
Growing up in the late eights I remember movies that displayed nerds with glasses, suspenders, and only a little good looking. The mainstream nerd has changed since then.

Book: Story by Robert McKee
The first time I heard of Story by Robert McKee it was 2008 and I was hanging out with my good friend/editing mentor Nick Khoo in Australia. He didn’t give me much details about the book but said, “You have to read this.” When I saw how thick the book was, I knew I wouldn’t … Read more

When I was in Vancouver my friend and I were seeing a movie a day. Not on purpose just because her and I really like films. We came across this small theater in the middle of the city. There weren’t any big movie names playing just abstract posters with strange titles. We looked at them … Read more
