Director Statement

I am a huge fan of guerilla filmmaking. With a small team, minimal resources, and a random location, we create magic. We are dedicated to a shared goal and I have had the opportunity and privilege to work with others who feel the same way. On our last project, we worked in heavy rain and winds and although we fought the elements, I can confidently say we had a blast working together as a team.
