Director Statement

As a director, this project reaffirmed my commitment to truth-telling, proving that even in the face of hardship, resilience prevails.

The making of "How I See" As we were capturing footage in the Tenderloin district, we were attacked. The assault was sudden and unprovoked, a violent interjection into our work. My equipment was stolen, two cameras were destroyed, and my body was left battered.
