Other than filmmaking - what are your interests?

Just curious to hear what people are into other than filmmaking, and how that might play into the projects they're interested in doing.

For example - I've always really enjoyed cooking, and considered myself somewhat of a 'foodie.' Not that I'm any good at cooking mind you, but I've always thought it would be fun and interesting to do a film based around chef's or food in some way.

Anyone else have some interests or hobbies that might cross over into their filmmaking subject matter?

Yes. Eating what you cook. :beer: That's a cross over (isn't it?) Spare filmmaking as desert.:grin:
 
I have many interests... photography is one, though that is kind of in the film world, I like to separate them. I enjoy sports, all kinds, basketball, tennis, volleyball, etc.

I also enjoy video games (surprise)... and nature... I enjoy nature, though I like modern conveniences....
 
Well, funny, these are distinct, yet in some remote way ultimately connected to filmmaking. Music - mostly listening, collecting, and a little bit of composing, great way to find music for film. Travel - love to explore new countries - and a great way to find locations for filming. Camping + backpacking - every year I try to squeeze in 3 weeks of camping at some national park - well, just so inspiring, I get many film ideas while hiking and backpacking.
 
I love Music. If I had any musical talent, I might have become a musician, rather than a filmmaker. IN fact, when I was 11 I tried to take up the guitar. I gave up, made my first movie, and never really looked back. Although I used to be in an avant garde noise band. But that's not what most people call music, and I still can't play any instruments. I'm also very passionate about still photography. It was a hobby once, but I've gotten very serious about it in the past year or two. I'm also a hopeless romantic. Literature is also a passion, though I've slowed down on my book-reading as of late. I love Kurt Vonnegut, Albert Camus, and William Faulkner, and I'm getting into Charles Bukowski, currently. I write poetry occasionally, and I've been slowly pecking away at a novel. I've also really gotten into theatre this year--both working on plays and watching them. I want to write and direct a play by next year.
