Cinephile since my first trip to the Drive-In as a little boy! Dad used to own a theatre in a small town in Argentina where he showed lots of Westerns. His love of cowboy films introduced me to spaghetti westerns, John Wayne, and the love of the newer style of gun-totting in Unforgiven or Young Guns. Mum was a Grease fan, and I remember going to the drive-in a couple of times to watch that musical wonder! Now she forces me to watch Mama Mia at least once a year! My first cinema experience alone was seeing The Empire Strikes Back as a young teen with some school mates. That film cemented my passion for film, especially sharing the creator's surname. On coming out of a screening of Hook I thought I could somersault, that immersed in movies I get, but unfortunately all I got was a splitting headache trying! Robin Williams is my favourite actor, and most of his movies rank up there as the best- Jack, for example, made me cry for the first time as a young adult and laugh my guts out! Such a move buff that I did Script Writing and Acting in Context classes as electives through my university days! I also acted in theatre and as an extra in various shows and films, in Argentina and Australia. I'd rather escape in a film for a couple of hours than pack my bags, get stuck in traffic, get a cold, and spend a week's wages to go on holiday- but even then I go to the cinema!
