Feet Banks

Feet Banks is a writer and (shitty) filmmaker from the west coast of Canada who appreciates mountain views, campfires by the river, horror movies, books, naps, people who try new things, and pumpkin pie. He has been chipping away at the underlying truths, greater goods, and seedy underbellies of life since the late 1990s and is still not entirely convinced Western Civilization isn’t on the verge of collapse—if it can happen to the Inca, it can happen to us… Act accordingly.
