Aside from Filmmaking, I hold great interests in hobbies involving Music, Poetry, Art, and Critiquing. I consume a variety of music on a daily basis, which acts as direct inspiration for my musical compositions involved with a band I am currently creatively leading - 'Cadence in Stripes'. I also write snippets of poetry and short stories to direct my creative forces across multiple artistic mediums. I am also well-versed in art criticism, providing reviews and critiques for films and music I consume.
