Director Statement

As a filmmaker, I am deeply committed to exploring the intricacies of the human experience through authentic storytelling. My work is driven by a passion for uncovering raw emotions, challenging societal norms, and giving a voice to stories that often go untold. I aim to create films that spark conversations, evoke introspection, and resonate with audiences long after the credits roll.

Drawing from my experiences as a Navy veteran and an entrepreneur, I bring a unique perspective to filmmaking—one that blends discipline, innovation, and creativity. My narratives often explore themes of identity, resilience, and connection, weaving together diverse perspectives to create a rich tapestry of humanity.

I believe that storytelling is a powerful tool for enlightenment and empowerment. My ultimate goal is to craft films that transcend entertainment, serving as a catalyst for understanding and transformation. Through Amethyst Films, I am building a platform to share meaningful stories that challenge the status quo and celebrate the beauty of diversity.

To me, filmmaking is not just a profession—it’s a purpose. It’s about capturing the essence of life and presenting it in a way that inspires change, fosters empathy, and leaves a lasting impact on the world.
