Director Statement

Through filmmaking I strive to challenge pre-existing genres and styles to create something challenging and different. The psychological connection that society has with film is what drives me to keep exploring the art and developing my directorial skills. As a director I try to focus equally as much on the smallest details of a film as the entire picture itself. My overall goal is to make compelling films that grab attention to very real topics, but present them in a refreshing and relatable way.
