I love to create, I've always wanted to do different things with my life growing up, but most of them, if not all revolved around creating. When I was five i wanted to be a scientist or an inventor but that was just because I thought it would be as easy as making Lego, when I was seven to eight I wanted to be a comic book writer and thats where my love for writing grew , when I was thirteen I wanted to be an author but thats when I found out I prefer seeing my work rather than imagining it, that's where my love of film really took off. I came from a family where movies where always apparent, my eldest brother was always showing me movies that I was probably too young for, I saw Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" when I was about three and "Kill Bill" when i was six. but by now i've seen thousands of movies and hundreds of Tv shows, for example of the amount of useless junk I have seen every episode of "The Simpsons" I have watched probably multiple times and can name any character if they have a name or at least their purpose and tell you what episode they're in and what it was about.
I've always been somewhat of an outsider because of my interests I grew up listening to music form the, 60s and 70s, where all my friends were listening to stuff like "Metalica" and other metal bands. Also I was one of two people that read and enjoyed comic books, i can for hours about how Batman could win a fight over Superman or that Aquaman is infact one of the greatest heroes ever. Not only was I the only fan of comic books but a small list of books I'd recommend include.
The Dark Knight Returns, The Killing joke, Alan moores "swamp thing" run, Grant Morrison's Batman incorporated (and pretty much everything else he has done), Scott Snyder's new 52 Bataman (they're all amazing with greg copullo's art), Kevin Smith & Ralph Garman's Batman 66 meets the Green hornet, Spiderman issue 121 & 122, Spiderman Coming home, Avengers age of ultra, Captain America winter solider. and again many, many more
some of the films and Tv shows that influenced me include.
Back to the Future I,II,III, Aliens ,The Lord of the Rings, Fellowship, Towers, and Return, Clerks 1 &2, Dogma, Chasing Amy,Breaking Bad, Archer, The Simpsons, Regular Show, Adventure time, Avatar: The last airbender & Legend of Korra, Rick and Morty, The sopranos, Game of Thrones.
