Introduction

Hello, I am Michael Madden and I am currently a film and computer science major at University of Texas in Austin.  I would have to say that right around the time I first saw Army of Darkness in 8th grade is when I really started to love movies.  I have always had an interest in video games since I got my Nintendo 64 long, long ago, thus the computer programming.  I really hope to combine the two into a cohesive whole, but I still have awhile to go as far as that.  I also have a deep love for music and hopefully I can use that towards the cohesive whole that I want.

As far as favorites go, I would have to say that in the film area, Terry Gilliam reins supreme.  His visual style and some of his more fantastical story plots all stem from his huge love for stories and the art of telling them.  I would have to say that this love is what influences me the most as a filmmaker/storyteller.
In video games that would go to Fallout 3, seeing as I am a huge sucker for post apocalyptic settings.  And as far as music, I would say the one band I can always listen to is King Crimson.  The 60s were the best.
