Director Statement

"My mission as a story-teller is to continually re-jig the past, reconstituting our origin myths in the search for alternative modernities. A case in point is 'Ada', which re-positions a brilliant 19th century female mathematician at the origin of our computer age. I'm always seeking to combine driving narrative with powerful original music, strong color palette and tight, tense dialogue."
