Summary

I am a still-evolving person and professional who has lived long enough and experienced some to harness these privileges into a peculiar and unique set of skills that leans toward creative content development in a wide range of media.

I also understand the importance of team-work in achieving organisational objectives and the need for discipline in executing and delivering on one's tasks on time.

Also, I know a measure of heart and passion is crucial to stay on and be on top of whatever work given unto one.

And I am married with children. God and life is good.

Cinema, Reading, Sports

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by the moving image; from having the TV as a babysitter as an only child, to growing up with the dawning realization that movies were not just mere entertainments but were something of an art that imitated life and vice versa. Over time, I also became an avid fan of the people that made the movies, casts and crews, and collected whatever informational and educational material i could about them. I'd like to believe I am now also part of this community, especially regarding my documentary film projects. I also have a couple of yet-to-produced feature film scripts.

Talking about reading, starting with its early requirement for learning, the act of savouring words written by authors noted and obscure have also helped - and continue - to nurture my own facility for writing. The Holy Scriptures, in the main, and film criticism usually yield a deep well of insights that have still shape my attitudes and world view. One must read, read, read if one must grow as a writer, write?

And the sports thing? Like many males and females. that adrenaline rush that a sometime 'coucher' gets from watching football, basketball and athletics, in particular
