BRIEF BIO:
Born in Burbank, not far from NBC, I have spent maybe too much of my life in front of a TV tube. Growing up in Santa Barbara, my early memory of film was watching super eight silent films at Rusty's Pizza Parlor on Milpas. Maybe this planted my great love for old films and Italian food. I graduated from UCSB as a Film Major. At one point or another I have worked as a Production T.A.., an intern at Orion Picutres, a PA for infomercials, a vault archivist for a post-production house, a hospital cook, a manager of a comic book shop, and for the last seven years an advisor for the Film Studies Department at UCSB. In my spare time (when I find it) I still watch too much TV.
