Born in 1993 in Manchester Connecticut to a video store manager and a machinist. Attended school at University of Vermont. Went in to learn how to draw and came out an experimental filmmaker. Earned a Bachelor's in Studio Art and Film and Television Studies. Currently, works as a youth educator for film making and animation.
I shot this film completely on film as a labor of love over the course of many years. What began as a daydream while listening to John Fahey's America slowly evolved into the greatest test I have ever undergone. The film was shot in various locations around Burlington Vermont and scored by Pakistani musician, actor & filmmaker, Amr Kashmiri, remotely on the outskirts of Lahore, Pakistan.
