►About:
I’m just a regular guy living in a small rural town in Texas. My love for movies and video games has shaped who I am today. I’m especially passionate about the works of Stanley Kubrick and spend a lot of time researching his films and creative vision. When I’m not diving deep into Kubrick’s genius, I’m making my own music or producing fan music videos inspired by the tracks I love.
You can also catch me over on my gaming channel, where my wife and I kick back and play old-school games together—it’s all about good vibes and nostalgic fun. Come hang out with us! / @togetheratthejoystick
