Director Statement

Hitchiker is my favorite film I ever worked on. I set out to tell an artistic story with a circle plot that used multiple location. This really challenged my directing because I was working with a fully student crew; so keeping everyone on task while there was a complicated story on the line, and also a lot of movement of settings was a daunting task. Hitchiker is also a no dialogue film, so the whole story had to be told visually. I am very proud of my work because I believe it is a thought provoking piece.
