And notice how he’s standing - he had to get the right “cool” stance for the photo. He’s such [...]

Okay, let’s be clear, I’m not talking about me! I am way too vain to shave my head. Especially since I have a bit of a hair fixation.
You may have heard of the annual charity fundraiser, The World’s Greatest Shave, whereby certain generous individuals agree to have their hair publicly shaved off in order to [...]

“What matters in life is not great deeds, but great love.”
- St. Therese of Lisieux, Patron Saint of Flowers, Growers and Florists. Also known as ‘The Little Flower of Jesus’
I would describe myself as a spiritual person, though not religious. I don’t follow the teachings of any particular church, yet I have a strong faith [...]

I love all art, but stories are my oxygen.
I couldn’t live in a world where I couldn’t watch, read or tell stories. And film is the most engaging storytelling device of all, with the maestro of this experience being the screenwriter.
As you’d expect of a long time film buff and writer, the Academy Awards are [...]
