Experiencing Interruptions?

Awake

“Awake” is a coming of age artistic exploration into the lives of a group of college juniors and seniors. The story takes realism and combines it with surrealism into one piece of art to take the audience into the dreams, nightmares and the realities of being a young adult in today’s society.

Director Statement

I love movies and I love storytelling. All I want is to tell stories that touch people and possibly connect with any person that happens to find themselves watching my work.
