Director Statement

Growing up, I felt different than my peers around me. I never really fit in, and I felt like I always struggled- whether that being my experience with ADHD, my odd sense of humor, or my need to march to the beat of my own drum.

I always felt like something was missing, and I tried to find that through the arts. I did almost every area of the arts that I could find; I painted, I wrote poetry, hell, I did theatre for 12 years! It wasn't until I was 15-years-old when sat down to watch Greta Gerwig's Lady Bird when I discovered the power of movies. I felt like I was watching my own life on the screen. That was the moment that I decided I was going to be a filmmaker.

I love quirky stories about odd people trying to fit in and find their place in this world, and those are the stories I'm going to tell.

I Think Bob Is An Alien was a passion project for me. I knew immediately this was a film I needed to make. I really wanted to bring a lot of my own humor and creative visions into this film. I believe a story like this is needed now more than ever. People are so judgmental of both themselves and their peers. We need to embrace each other's uniqueness and remember to be kind. It's so important to enjoy the little happy moments in life.
