Jonnie

Big Jonnie

Hello world, my name is Jonnie. Ever since I was a kid I liked practicing my imagination. I go to school at McGill and study History and English, but spend most of my time making movies. I love learning new things and get most of my favorite finds from the past. That’s the best place to look for lessons on war, rebellion and anything. I’m a sucker for shiny, dazzling things and have a not so secret affection for yacht-rock and funkadelic music from the 70s. I love creativity and good people and I will for the rest of my life. I think it’s important to dare yourself to do things you’re afraid of. The first girl I ever asked out (to see Men in Black) told me she had to clean her room. Tough luck for her, MIB was sick. Really though, I wanna live life to the limit and love it a lot. Fuel ambition with patience, respect, and a keen eye and you can do anything. I can prove it.

  12. Hey I think what you guys are doing is amazing. I wish I could travel and do all the things I want to do too but I’m tied up with college and money. Anyway, I’m also interested in filmmaking although I’m not studying it in college. If you guys are ever in the NY area I’d love to help in any of the filming :)
