Film has been my first love ever since the beginning of high school. Being homeschooled in Georgia gave the bandwidth and space to be able to dream and create independently. On the day that tuition was due for community college, I declined with my parents' full support and began to work and create for a living. It's been difficult, but highly rewarding at every stop in my journey. Film now is my passion, my calling, and my life. I love cinema and all it continues to surprise me with. I'm forever a student of the greats, Tarkovsky, Ozu, Lynch, Bergman, Kiarostami, Linklater, just to name a few . I'm working toward more shorts, in the directing and producing, and am still, after many years, writing a feature film I hope to direct one day.
