Describe yourself as a film genre:

I'd be a Dramedy. Deeply interested in the human condition but unable to resist the tendency to laugh at and with us

What is your favorite movie of all time and why?:

Please can I have two?? Babette's Feast and Some Like It Hot. The Danish film Babette's Feast was such a beautiful portrayal of the transformational power of both food and art, and Some Like It Hot is just a classic; genius and iconic, hilarious and riveting to me.

Who would play you in a movie?:

The love child of Toni Collette and Alan Rickman

What's your go to movie snack?:

Almond Magnum ice creams ... But that's just my go-to far too much all the time snack. 

What Film Title best describes your life?

It's A Wonderful Life
