Director Statement

As a young African American filmmaker living in Los Angeles, my sole purpose is to create empowering films for the community that teach lessons and inspire people to be better versions of themselves.

"Deadly Thoughts" is a hard hitting, emotional drama that deals with mental health issues as well as infidelity in relationships. This film is relatable as many people deal with dramatic issues in their relationships and I wanted to tell a story that took people on a roller coaster. I am rising filmmaker who is carving his name in the entertainment industry as I have racked up over 30 awards in international festivals for my short films including Best Debut Filmmaker, Best Short Film, Best Actor, Best Drama and more.

Mental health is something that the young generation needs to prioritize as well as maintaining healthy relationships and I want to push that message through my films. Creating movies that people can feel is my goal, and Deadly Thoughts certainly fits that motto.
