I have been writing film scripts since the age of fifteen, sparked by a passion for Clint Eastwood, Harold and Maude, Sam Peckinpah, and New Yorker critic Pauline Kael. In my thirties, I published The Blood Poets: A Cinema of Savagery, which Pauline Kael endorsed shortly before she died. Since then, I have published twelve more books, including several on film (The Secret Life of Movies, Matrix Warrior, Seen and Not Seen, 16 Maps of Hell), and written a half a dozen more scripts, see loglines below. I have also made digital movies: The God Game, Beauty Fool, and Being th One: Document of a Delusion
