As if having a blog isn’t enough of an exercise in narcissism, you want to know more about me? If I could sum it up in one neat paragraph, I wouldn’t waste pages and pages of electronic space… Nevertheless, I aim to please.
So… You probably know me – if not, then here’s the crash course. I once wanted to kayak down the Amazon river… I like life. If I had a super-power it would probably be flying. I lived in a favela in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil for almost five years. I am now figuring out what it looks like to live life in the United States, one day at a time. I ask questions. I doubt. I hope. I have faith. I press on. I’m trying to tell the truth, even when it hurts. I’m only human…
Hello Ben. I’m an LA-based documentary producer developing a show about interesting American expats around the world. I’d like to write to you directly about Rio, if I may. I’ll be there in mid-December.
