My core training in acting is from the Stella Adler Studio in New York. I love acting and filmmaking and Vancouver where I now live is a beautiful place to make films. I am interested in the dramas, delights, passions and heartbreaks that take place in everyday interactions (or lack thereof) between ordinary people. Most of my films have dealt with human-scale issues such as tough choices, love, dreams, hope and finding meaning and fun in life. I love an underdog story! My motto is don't let anything get in the way of telling a story that might uplift someone - film it with your smartphone if that's what you have, but get it done and share it with the world.
Imagine a somewhat surreal art show with the artist sharing some words about each piece in the form of comforting aphorisms for a world in pain. In this imaginary place, built from AI-enhanced digital art, we travel though a mystical set of alleys that reveal their truth and beauty. A calm film for hectic times - relax, and enjoy the words, the images and the messages. Be inspired!
