About Steve

Medic
Psychiatrist
Got some short films notched up. Little scars that erupted audio visually.

Smalltime conflicted Jewish background with loads of arguing and no central heating till I was twelve which was when my asthma got better. Indulgent power mother made up for my dear one dimensional father who I struggle not to be. I have achieved two dimensionality and aspire to be 3D this year, depending on the decisions I make.

Cinema is my sanctuary where movie magic conspires; I mean the epic weepy stuff, which was my cure to anxiety and background noise growing up. The Wizard of Oz, Singing in the Rain, Meet Me in St Louis, Gilda, Wages of Fear and The Maltese Falcon, MOVIE ART is my blanket, hot water bottle, meal and mood music - at the flick of a clunky TV switch, the confusion outside went away. It was my safe place TV, black and white, overweight like Hardy. Not Olli, those anorectic flat screens. I was absorbed by images and stories: my first proper relationships which make me the man I am today. In therapy the last two years of self-discovery have clarified why I LOVE MOVIE. They are the only secure relationship I ever had.

I am Impulsive, ADHDish (according to questionnaires), professional, caring, socially awkward, intensely focused, anxious as a squirrel until I have my ration of nuts; flexible, adaptable, yet stubborn. I am a good team leader with wisdom, wit and a cognitive empath, who is happiest living inside film. The real world is a great place to steal inspirational nuggets.

I accept not fitting in. I am mostly accepted by my patients and believe am good at my job.

I have two beautiful daughters of whom I am proud.

Downside - organisation is a weak spot. Social etiquette tricky and I can be abrupt. Clumsy. Insensitive. Oddly I have poor geospatial skills yet when visuospatial & camera-oriented I feel at home. I am moody quiet. Procrastination is bad!

I am writing The Mind Trilogy features and have completed the second screenplay "The Mind Network" . Presently I am researching the third part of the Mind Trilogy "Mind Zero."

I begin shooting Garbage Rex this year, a short about homelessness which casts shame on our humanity,.

I have written and staged several plays in Barcelona of which The Toymaker´s Apprentice, a cross between The Nutcracker and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, is my fav and a smashing family show - it would make a great musical! - about the perils of indulging childhood where anti-toys threaten to enslave children as their play pets.

.

Unique traits: determined, adaptable, problem-solver, No is not a word I hear readily unless a well-constructed argument backs up. I like to work with the same people - for me it is family. If I believe in something and am motivated I follow through to the end.
