Director Statement

With years of experience in advocacy, law, politics, and social entrepreneurship, I enjoy telling stories that move, provoke, and inspire. My goal is to use the power of story to illuminate lives and spur action to make our world a better place. I believe that film has a unique ability to transcend our differences and build bridges between cultures, languages, and peoples of all backgrounds - and that it should be used as an enduring force for kindness and empathy.
