Director Statement

As an aspiring filmmaker, I hope to explore stories through my work that deal with subjects and groups not typically represented in mainstream media. My aim is to bring a little more sympathy and love into this world through representation and understanding. I hope that by showcasing situations and people that society often neglects or mistreats in a more humanistic and empathetic lens, we can learn to relate to each other on an emotional level despite any differences in life experiences.
