A passion for exploring the pervasive world of evil: Murder, poisoning.
A highly creative adulthood plagued by endless absurd worries: Still fearing the police, to the extent of being afraid to drive; a half-smoked cigarette butt thrown away would cause him distress; afraid of meeting strangers, leading to a reclusive lifestyle, with only a few close friends staying home all day surrounded by books, photos, his wife, daughter, and a small dog.
His entire life, he could only do one thing—make movies!
