Film and Television. I am passionate about films and have a good knowledge of film. Personally I find many inspirations and lessons can be learnt from the established art form. I listen to Film Junk and the Kermode and Mayo Film Review Podcasts.



Music, I listen to a wide spectrum of music and try to attend as much live music as I can. I keep regular tabs on Music via the NPR network. The prospect of seamless music and gaming entertainment is really exciting to me.
