Director Statement

Art has always been a powerful tool to produce change. Change in thinking, doing, and being. Change in feeling. As artists, we have a responsibility for what we do with our craft. And, if I can produce even a small fraction of learning, release, or change for the better as a result of my art, well, that certainly makes it worth it. With Milestones, I hope to contribute to the conversation of love and romance, and the vital role that friendship plays in it.
