Director Biography - A FILM BY SUMMERLAKE

I grew up on a small farm and the experience of having to do with what you have has always informed my aesthetic. I have been making independent films since 1992. I have also done live theater, music, and applied design. I have lived, worked and studied in Eugene OR as well as the San Fernando Valley and high desert of Southern California.

Director Statement

16 SPACE COWBOY is a love letter to the films and stories that have touched my heart and remained with me during difficult times. The stories that appear again and again over the ages are the stories that, I feel, reveal our most basic humanity. This film is my way of trying to be part of the tradition of telling stories that give us hope and some insight as well as a heart-felt laugh (and maybe a tear or two.)
