I will start since I set this whole thing up.
I am Patrick, of the Loose Canons crew I'm 31, male, and a resident of Los Angeles My 5 favorite as of this moment are: 1. Pale Flower (Shinoda, 1964) 2. Speed Racer (Wachowskis, 2008) 3. Time Indefinite (McElwee, 1993) 4. Fat Girl (Breillat, 2001) 5. Videodrome (Cronenberg, 1983)
My major non-film related interests at the moment are politics (currently a candidate to join the PSL), and all other forms of art including cooking.
One director that a lot of people haven't heard of but should probably check out is Austin Wolf-Southern. I've mentioned him on the podcast before and he used to be an active member of the artofvision community. He makes maybe the most transgressive films I've ever seen. You can check out most of his work on YouTube. Just search for Austin Wolf-Southern.

ahoy hoy
I am matthew and despite what "Proboards" made me put down, my gender is not "male." I'm 32 and live in Canada. 3 fav films of the moment? 1. 2014's Godzilla 2. Slumber Party Massacre 2 3. Kinji Fukasaku's Gambling Den Heist
My major non-film related interests include science fiction, especially feminist science fiction of the 80s and 90s, and affect theory, a branch of philosophy focused on the culture and politics of emotions.
I can't think of a director most people wouldn't have already heard of because I have pleb taste.

Welcome!
Very sorry about the gender thing. I'm not yet savvy enough with the forum controls to change it.

Matthew, I don't know if it is possible to add more genders or remove the gender option, but you can hide it under edit profile then privacy tab

TBH it was already on my radar. I have made the concession for the moment of adding a "Preferred Pronoun" field to the personal profiles.
