Director's Statement: I love making narrative stories. I want to be able to convey specific visions with every detail possible. The actors, the music, the setting, the timing, the way the camera moves, or sits still all are parts of the story being told that require attention. At the end of the day, I want to make films that I would watch, films that leave me feeling something. This is what excites me as an actor, a director, a filmmaker.. a creative. I get to create things from my unique perspective and hopefully people can see it, understand, and enjoy it, leaving it inspired or feeling something of some sort.

I believe in myself, being young and ambitious, and surrounding myself with other like-minded humans begins wonderful friendships, and certainly connects a great sense of community between us. I am very privileged to be surrounded by people who share the same goal of creating something of a certain quality, and who understand how to come together to finish and share ""that vision"".

Annnd, now I sound like a pretentious 20 year-old.
Conclusion: Just trying to create content that at the end of the day, I can go to bed and say "I liked that" with a grin on my face.
