Director Statement

I have always been intrigued by all forms of the arts. The moving image has consistently been a medium that I admire becuase of the ability to combine all aspects of the arts within it. Ever since I was a child I loved stories. I enjoyed reading them, seeing them and fabricating stories when I wanted to twist the truth. Within each project, I try to tell a new story and give a voice to a different community, person or ethnic group. As a part of the millennial generation my existence as a filmmaker is completely uncharted. There are no rules or correct pathways to create art. This makes my journey more difficult but offers me more freedom. It is my hope to inspire others to fulfill their dreams and create magic through the fine arts.
