Writer Statement

Everyone deserves to have their story told. As a screenwriter, it's my duty to give characters life and bring their words to the screen. They have just as much value and importance as we, and as viewers, we attach to each character in our own way. Their strengths and faults give us understanding and meaning to our own every day life struggle. I'm only the messenger.... if the audience falls in love, hates, cries, fears, and embraces each character, I've done my job in delivering the message and telling the right story.
