Hi there. Bob Davis here, in Los Angeles. I write for American Cinematographer 
magazine, usually doing pieces on euro and asian art film -- recently on Chris 
Doyle, Tsai Ming-liang, Irreversible, upcoming on Dolls, Hero, and probably 
the new Shiota which I'm anxious to see Sunday at the American Film Market in 
Santa Monica -- and teach at California State University. Currently doing a 
course on "New Asian Cinema" ... includes works of Morita, Kitano, Kurosawa 
(Kiyoshi, of course), Iwai, Koreeda, Miike, Nakata, Suicide Club, Owl's 
Castle, Battle Royale, etc. Huge Ozu fan, but think Japanese cinema has never 
been as vital as it is today. Look forward to your discussion. bd
