Director Statement

Ever since I was in high school I knew I wanted to study film and become a filmmaker. I loved going to the movies or just sitting on the couch to watch a movie in complete silence to enjoy every second. The idea of showing the world through my eyes in a movie fills me with excitement. The cinema give us so many posibilities of bringing emotions to the watcher and tell them a story that may change their way of seeing or thinking or even their way of living.
