A theatre and film graduate of Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, director, editor, cinematographer, Web developer, writer and (very) occasional actor John-Paul Gillespie (eMail • blog) combines a deep knowledge of pre-modern French and German artistic cinema with a total disdain for the entire oeuvre—a dismissive attitude he elaborated fully in "The Needle in the Haystack Theory" (1995), the pre-doctoral highlight of a brief academic career and a scathing dissertation on the futility of intellectual myopicism. Off-camera, this aspiring auteur and member of the Sri Chinmoy Centre, who lives in Auckland, New Zealand, hones his cinematic eye in the design industry, and uses his practice of meditation as a source of energy and inspiration for his many creative pursuits. John also writes articles on poetry for Poetseers.org and Sri Chinmoy Poetry.
