I’ve been a movie lover for as long as I can remember. My father loved movies (especially horror films!) and he passed his deep affection for them on to me. When I was just a kid my dad and I spent many weekends watching movies together on our old television and every Saturday night my dad would take my mom and I to the local drive-in to see a double feature.

I grew up on a steady diet of Horror films, James Bond, spaghetti westerns, American musicals and Japanese monster movies. As I got older my interest in cinema expanded into areas like Italian Neorealism and French, British & Japanese New Wave. I’ve always had a special fondness for '60s and '70s era films so that’s what I focus on at Cinebeats.

When I started attending college in the late '80s I concentrated on film studies, but due to various circumstances I left college before graduating and started working full-time. Since then I’ve occasionally dabbled in freelance writing for small press magazines and zines like Propaganda, Comic Culture, Morbid Outlook and Fashion Doll Quarterly while spending my free time taking photos, making art, reading books and watching lots of movies.

I don’t often waste time writing about movies I hate even though there are plenty. Life is too short and there are not enough hours in the day for me to write about the movies I like. I prefer to spend my time writing about little seen gems, as well as actors and directors who I adore and respect in an effort to expand their audiences.

I created Cibebeats.com because I like writing about the movies I watch and I enjoy sharing my passion for cinema with others. If you would like me to review a new DVD release, attend an upcoming film festival or discuss the work of a director or actor, please feel free to contact me. I focus on '60s and '70s era films at Cinebeats.com but I write about many different topics for Cinedelica.com

Thanks for visiting Cinebeats and I hope you’ll enjoy my random musings about the movies I love and the people who make them.
