31 years of life on a pendulum has provided years of wisdom far beyond my age. I have been fortunate to be given endless opportunities, but due to my lack of maturity, selfishness, and reckless behavior, I squandered it all. I fell into an addiction that nearly took my life.
Over the last 10 months, I have fought relentlessly to regain the life I had given up. Through perseverance, family support, and unconditional dedication, I am winning this battle.
Film has always been the reason I wake up each morning. The beauty of an idea blossoming into an artist's vision on screen, truly captivates my soul. I believe a great film has the ability to inspire and motivate people to do amazing things. It can turn a depressing week into an uplifting state of conscious; bringing insight and hope to the viewer.
A great filmmaker is capable of becoming a revolutionist.
For this reason, I strive to become a great filmmaker and I will settle at nothing less.
