Action, comedies, martial arts films are the genres I grew up watching the most. It also is what sparked my interest to get into acting.
I later developed a love for all genres and some of my favorite movies are dramas, but when it comes to creating projects, most of my ideas are comedic.
With this film, I want to bring Toronto's diversity to the forefront, along with showcasing our sense of humor and professional stunt work.
Overcover is my most ambitious project to date, collaborating with highly skilled professionals in the camera, stunts and VFX departments, with almost everyone working on a volunteer basis.
