Director Statement

I’m passionate about creating queer films that also showcase a trans person’s perspective. I love telling stories with simple themes, such as falling in love, but through a queer lens. Although elements are different, so much of it showcases universal experiences and feelings. But I know that representation can make a world of a difference. If I had the opportunity to have grown up seeing more queer and trans content, I most likely would have found my authentic self much sooner.
