He believes that great stories leave us feeling both well-fed and hungry for more. They leave us feeling more connected with the world around us, smarter, and energized to share what we just saw. He believes that the process of telling stories should do all of the same things and is hungry to collaborate with others who feel the same way. As a viewer, he loves comedy.
