Director Statement

History is fascinating because it offers ideas for stories that pose a "what if" question. What if the Kensington Stone, "found" in 1898 by a Swedish immigrant in central Minnesota, was authentic AND cursed? What would that look like? How would it end? Answering those questions is challenging and fun but if done well, also gives you a blueprint for your film or writing.
