Famine is the mysterious director of ArtsNaked to which all others report. In fact so shrouded is he in mystery that his own bio had to be written by his fellow horsemen a few years back. Rumours abound, some swear that he is entirely fictional – little more than the end product of 3.5 billion lines of code, yet witnesses attest to a figure moving through the shadowy world of late-night coffee houses willing to pay any price for a caramel macchiato, quoting lines from his masters thesis on apocaholicism, listening constantly to rare Jerry Goldsmith soundtracks and wishing he could fly. In his spare time, Famine enjoys reminiscing about a previous life with animals and finding new ways to avoid getting his driver’s licence. He also has a penchant for horrifying catholic priests with his new sound system and scaring the bejeebers out of unsuspecting passers-by with terrifying yet cute dogs named after chocolate bars. Insiders believe that Famine may be now living in Ranaland, after recently marrying its founder. Sadly, much to the chagrin of the other horsemen, Famine always leaves you wanting more. His five favourite movies are Superman: The Movie, Star Wars Trilogy, Somebody Like You, Jack the Bear and Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan. His favourite composers are Jerry Goldsmith, John Williams and James Horner (in that order).
