In England, I'm a horror movie director. In Germany, I'm a filmmaker. In the US, I'm a bum. ↗

I made a series of wrong decisions about moderately recent books, and I've sold the rights to studios for ridiculous amounts of money and the films have never been made. That's the saddest thing of all, because they're locked up and no one else can make them. ↗
