Director Statement

As a Westlake High School senior and founder of Roadkill Media Productions, I am continually developing my filmmaking skills from concept and script to post-production. To date, I have completed 50+ shorts, animations, and public service announcements. I mostly enjoy creating dark comedies, satires, suspense and psychological thrillers with nods to my icons Tarantino, Rodriguez, Hitchcock and Scorsese, among others.
