Who is this Brent Larson?

I’m Brent Larson, which you probably already figured out, and this is my first real blog. I guess this is the part where I tell you about myself, so here goes. I’d rather set this up as a category list, so I don’t have large blocks of text that you have to wade through.

Age: late-30s

Where I live: Orlando, Florida

Where I’m from: My dad was in the military when I was growing up, so I’ve lived all over. But I consider myself more from Arizona, where I graduated high school and college, than anywhere else.

Where I went to school: Northern Arizona University, in beautiful Flagstaff

Marital Status: yup

Occupation: I’m a filmmaker with the JESUS Film New Strategy group, Broken Phonebooth Productions. Specifically, I’m a screenwriter/producer/snack procurer.

Belief system: I’m a follower of Jesus Christ.

Favorite movie: I’ve got about five of ’em. And that’s because I’m usually forgetting one or two… But I’ve recently come to a decision–at the top of the list–Superman the Movie.

Favorite TV: Battlestar Galactica, Veronica Mars, Lost, 24

TV I like a lot: Supernatural

TV I watch but I sure wish was better: Smallville

My favorite TV show ever:  Angel (NOT Touched by an Angel.  Angel didn’t touch people–he usually smacked ’em around a few times.  Then he’d brood, then maybe have some pigs blood.)

Videogames?: Yup.  Lifelong (so far) Nintendo guy.

Why Nintendo?: If you’ve ever played Legend of Zelda you’d know.

Favorite website: http://www.tvsquad.com

Favorite music: I’m an unapologetic Def Leppard fan. Hey, you in the back, stop that laughing!! I also love soundtracks.

Favorite books (fiction): I love, in no particular order, Madeline L’Engle’s Time Trilogy, Stephen King’s The Stand, The Lord of the Rings. I’ll update you on some more when I read them.

Favorite books (nonfiction): The Bible (yes, I like it), John Eldridge’s Wild At Heart and Waking the Dead, Larry Crabb’s Shattered Dreams. Also like Don Miller’s Blue Like Jazz.

Dream vacation: Caribbean Cruise.  I’ve done it a few times.  It’s surprisingly affordable if you live in Florida. I love it because you’re pretty much unreachable by civilization, which I like most of the time but not on vacation (I say this in case civilization has tender feelings right now).
