Name: Tao
Age: 33
From wikipedia:
Tao Ruspoli (born 7 November 1975) is an Italian-American documentary film maker, photographer, and flamenco guitarist. He is the son of Italian actor and aristocrat Prince Dado Ruspoli and American actress Debra Berger.
Tao was born in Thailand and raised in Rome and Los Angeles. He graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a Bachelor of Arts in philosophy. His most well-known piece is the documentary Just Say Know, a personal discussion of his family's drug addiction.
His other films include Flamenco: A Personal Journey, a feature length documentary about the flamenco way of life as it is lived by Gypsies in the south of Spain. He has directed a number of other short documentaries, including El Cable (also about flamenco), and This Film Needs No Title (a portrait of the renowned logician, mathematician and concert pianist Raymond Smullyan)
Tao is the founder of LAFCO, The Los Angeles Filmmakers Cooperative, a bohemian collective of filmmakers and musicians who work out of a converted school bus. Through LAFCO, Tao has produced several films and helped dozens of filmmakers to make their first films and discover the wonders of digital media.
His producing credits include the feature film Camjackers, which he also acted in and co-edited. Camjackers won the best editing award at the 44th Ann Arbor Film Festival. Tao is also involved with Lost Film Fest and collaborates with Scott Beibin
Tao is an accomplished flamenco guitar player, and his first CD, Flamenco, was released on Mapleshade Records in 2005.
He is married to actress Olivia Wilde.

Behind the Wheel: The LAFCO Bus crosses America (9 parts)

Seeing film as art is easy. Remembering that art is about challenging the world can be hard. Putting film art into action? Well, that can be damn near impossible for people... but not the members of the LA Film Co-op. Determined to make their own state of the union address and filled with youthful energy, they bought a bus, fit a modern day editing suite into it and headed out from coast to coast, interviewing notable artists wherever they found them.

Bumping into such luminaries as Dead Prez, director Oliver Stone, guerilla poster artist Robbie Conal, among all those citizens just living day-to-day, the Film Co-op has created a profound record for their time. With a new age of change sweeping into America with 2009, Behind the Wheel is an amazing final summary of the Bush years. It captures with joy and anger the spirit of resistance at a time when the majority of Americans felt disenfranchised from a country and a leader who didn't stand for them.

Ciao, Tao. Ho visto i video dedicati a tuo padre e mi hanno veramente commossa. Per tutta la visione mi è sembrato di percepire l'affetto che nutrivate l'uno per l'altro, un dono meraviglioso. Auguri per il tuo lavoro e un abbraccio, P. G.

Are you Tao Ruspoli? I hope so, hi, I saw some of your videos, you're very talented for all you do. I play the violin, so if you ever come to Mexico let me know and we could play some things. By the way, tell Olivia that she is so beutiful and a very good actress
