Director Statement

I'm excited to finally present my first short film "Call Me Bella", to festival audiences. I want to create films that pull the audience into the character's lives, while confronting the realities of our contemporary society. I'm humbled by the positive reaction and appraisals given to the work so far. We worked under a very tight schedule, and the lowest of budgets to make this film a reality.
