Most memorable moment of previous Port Douglas
Port Shorts Film Festivals... ...
2008: Watching my first 'batch' of film students grace the Port Shorts stage with their first short films and then win the best film and best new filmmaker categories, confirming (as always) the uber-cool capacity of our youth.

Chocolate or lollies?
Chocolate - 85 percent cocoa Lindt or triple choc brownies by Jenna...(homer simpson 'agghhh').

Last thing you bought off ebay...
An external hard drive. Uber nerdish.

Favourite quotation or saying...
"You are" or "so is your face"

Describe yourself in 4 words...
Lanky, analytical, hopeless, romantic

When not working on Port Shorts, what else do you do with your time?
Edumacating the youth of this fine FNQ-landscape, diving into the Big Blue and spending time with my friends.

If you had 3 wishes what would they be?
One - an endless supply of meaningful, awe-inspiring films that blow me away;
two - that corruption of the human spirit (through such things as war, greed and ignorance) become a memory rather than a normailty; and
three - the return of Hypercolour: it has been too long.

Something you couldn't live without...
Conversation: it is the ultimate vehicle to a life of meaning, be it a good story from a stranger or a sacred moment with a soulmate.

Favourite place or city
Wellington. Born, Bred, 'Nough said.

Favourite website...
Ah.... - www.ted.com it will change your life, and download limit.

What would you do with $63.50?
Excellent, specific question. Sponsor an orangutan in Borneo - tall creatures short of habitats that consistently blow me away with their intelligence. We (aye - humans I speak of), are systematically destroying their habitat when we could be sponsoring and nurturing their survival. Plus the remaining $3.50 on 85% choc.

Last thing you took a photo of on your phone
A giant orb spider at Mowbray: would attach, but my computer is (blue) toothless and mean.
