NEEDLEBRAIN

filmmaker, editor, bassist, songwriter. Attempted to skateboard a couple times. Did not go well.

Mostly, i'm just a guy. Some random, boring, faceless emo who longs to be back in the 2000's. Or at the Panic! Live in Denver show.

Man i could talk forever about music. I listen to so much, and never really like to be confined to a single sound, I really do listen to anything. With that being said, I have an affinity for early 2000's music, all kinds of emo from post-hardcore to pop-punk.

Some of the main bands I like are The Brobecks, Fall Out Boy, Taking Back Sunday, Death Cab for Cutie, Weezer, Panic! At The Disco, The Academy Is..., Paramore, Blink-182, and so so soooooo many more.

I'll spare you everything else i listen to but i do have an affinity for well done electronic music like Daft Punk & LCD Soundsystem, while also loving whatever that sounds good really.

Last bit! (sorry) I heavily recommend listening to these artists:
Soklo
The Apples in Stereo
The Orchestra (For Now)
DE'WAYNE

As a filmmaker i'll try not to sound pretentious or insufferable in this section, but my favourite genre will always be sci-fi without a doubt. I'd say my favourite films are probably:
Back To The Future (1 & 2)
Phantom of The Paradise
A Clockwork Orange
Robots
The Batman
The Nightmare Before Christmas

I'd definitely recommend all of those films, but a film I highly implore you to watch if you haven't is The Wrestler or The Iron Claw. Both incredible movies that do magic of turning something usually so flamboyant and over-the-top into something so grounded, gritty, and emotionally investing.

Pleasepleaseplease give them a watch if you can! Or don't. No peer pressure!

Unlike movies, I'm not a massive TV watcher if i'm honest. Quite like BTAS or The Office. Two very basic picks I know but they're easy watches and always a bit of fun.

I will say though, Buffy the Vampire Slayer will always be my number 1. Go give it a rewatch, it's better than you remember! 

Big comic book lover!!! Might not be the typical type of books people are asking for, but I have always adored comics and will continue to do so. I just love art!!!

I could speak for hours about my favourite comics so i'll keep it simple and just list a few recommendations! Read:
Do A Powerbomb!
The Sandman
Batman & Dracula trilogy
Akira

Never really tend to think about havings heroes if i'm honest. Just tend to like anybody who influences my work n stuff.
Dallon Weekes, William Beckett, Ryan Ross, Kelley Jones, Buster Keaton, Jim Carrey.
Pretty much just anybody who's work i've consumed.
Oh, and Milhouse from the Simpsons. Heard everything's coming up for that guy.
