Palm Springs Int'l Shortfest

Valid US Passport 08/2027. LA local. A native Michigander who grew up on Monty Python and Gilda Radner. Drawn to characters who hold darkness and warmth in the same breath — and to stories about everyday people who somehow made a go of it. Charmingly direct. Deeply curious. Genuinely unfiltered. Lover of knowledge. Bombed plane survivor. Enjoys travel, learning, video games (CoD, God of War, Skyrim, Assassin's Creed, etc. gamer tag: ArterySplitter), weird history, art, real life side quests.
