hortisexual film lover, who first fell in love with foreign cinema at missoula's crystal theatre in my 70's college years. i later abetted that fix with seattle film festival, and on until today, where my favorite festival is cinequest in san jose in fev-mar. that is where i found everyone so helpful, open, and equal. i can't remember a place where a film would end and people would pop out of the audience, (once one in the next seat!) to answer real questions. film is the one international art i thrive in. i probably see greater than 300 films a year, and have even ghosted an oscar vote (yes i have a closet, i'm old and it's very lived in!)
