I'm a fan of alternative, experimental and psychedelic music, though I listen to a bit in every genre.

I'm a writer, musician and photographer.

Nice to be here.

Welcome man, sounds like you found the right place.

Who's your favorite Winnipeg-based filmmaker?

Thank you.

The only one I'm familiar with is Guy Maddin. Do you know of others?

I'm a massive Maddin fan. A few years ago I went to see the Tales From the Winnipeg Film Group docu when it was playing at the Montreal film festival, a very interesting documentary about the scene's beginnings. The one other film from the group I've seen is John Paizs's Crime Wave from 1985, a seminal cult classic definitely worth watching.

And there is this documentary about Guy which is a masterpiece in its own right. Narrated by Tom Waits!

Neat, neat... I really should become more familiar with the Winnipeg film scene as it's a scene I want to be a part of. I want to write and direct and be a part of the soundtrack.

I'll check out "Tales From the Winnipeg Film Group."

Hallo there, Robert.

Have you got any weird musical recommendations to share?

Sure, hundreds, where's a good place to post a list?

That's an ambition worth pursuing. They're great, seem very nice people too (those I met at the screening).
