Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

I'm a 27 year old filmmaker currently living in Brooklyn. I moved to New York in 2003 after graduating from the University of Notre Dame. For the past few years, I've been shooting a music documentary in London. Now I'm back living in New York editing the film, and I'm eager to meet new people who like music, films, books, booze, politics, travel, banter, and having random adventures around the city.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

The biggest project in my life right now is the feature length music documentary I'm currently editing. I started up a production company so that I could make it. To pay the bills, I'm a producer, and I usually enjoy that too. I have a few shows, including an original music series, so I love it when I can book bands I love on it.

Next year I'll be submitting it to festivals around the world. Even though I love my work, and it takes up quite a bit of time, my interests reach faaaar beyond just film and music.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

Wow, there's so much boasting to be done on here! Okay I'd say I'm really good at getting along with people, no matter their background. I thrive on being thrown into new situations. I love going out, but I also love quiet nights in. I can't have too much of one without a bit of the other. I consider myself to be a fun person to be around, I'm a good listener, but I can also hold up my end of a conversation, I pick up new things rather easily, and I'm a good person to have your back.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

The first thing? Well, people often say my smile because I can't keep it off my face when I'm happy. I should admit here that I can be a bit loud when I get excited about something. Let's see, what else? First impressions are generally physical right? Well, I'm rather short. My bosom is ample. Haha.

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

After living out of a small suitcase for many months on end, I learned I can do without most things. But let's say (in no particular order): other people, music, some free time, my independence, my camera, and a comfortable place to sleep (although I actually have done without that, but I'd rather not.

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

just about everything. Too much time thinking probably.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

There is no typical Friday night for me. Sometimes I'll be out all night, others I'll stay in editing. My life has been a little too erratic to have many weekly traditions.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

The fact that I've given in and am doing one of these is something I'm going to keep private from the rest of my life. I've always said that dating sites weren't for me. But I do try to be open to new ideas...

You should message me if Propose an edit

you think we might hit it off. I'm easy-going, looking for friends at first.

To be honest, I'm only checking this once in awhile. I've hardly responded to anybody so far. I guess I need to just take the plunge one of these days and meet up with someone!
