I love telling stories through the camera lens. I wish to continue telling stories that impact our society as a whole – no matter the demographic. I believe that we all share a common goal and that is to tell our stories that resonates within us all. If I have the power to tell one simple story that can help change the view of another’s perspective then I have conquered my goal as a storyteller. I use my art as a tool for social change but most importantly as a way to make you feel – that to me is what gives me joy as a filmmaker.
