Director Statement

Huge fan of Spike Lee. A social entrepreneur with a talent for film and theatre. Passionate about the kind of producing and acting that takes people by surprise….to make people think one thing only to then flip the script. Indiscriminately critical about results but with a particular attention for strength, beauty and being black. Invested in enriching the world through insight, beauty and creativity.
