Director Statement

My first career as an Interior Designer allowed me to see the vision I would create in my mind come to fruition but there is nothing like watching a story play out in my mind to then be able to watch living breathing characters in that story make that dream come true. Joy is my directorial debut and is the reason I intend on making many more films. I hope everyone can enjoy this short film as much as I enjoyed making it.
