Director Statement

At 72, I thought it might be time to start my filmmaking career in earnest. "Banana Triangle Six" is my first attempt at a narrative short film. In general, I'm drawn to the mystery/thriller genre, but, as with my gin and tonics, always with a twist. Louis Bayard's great story was all of this with the added bonus of touching on two increasingly germane subjects, dealing with dementia in our aging population and personal choice in our health related decisions. Many thanks to him for allowing me to adapt his story. Enjoy.
