Director Statement

As a young African American filmmaker living in Los Angeles, my sole purpose is to create empowering films for the community that teach lessons and inspire people to be better versions of themselves.

SKANDALOUZ was created to shed a light on domestic violence and infidelity in relationships. This dramatic film shows real situations that a lot of people can unfortunately relate to and the goal is bring awareness that domestic violence is not something that should be tolerated in relationships.

I am a rising filmmaker who is carving his name in the entertainment industry as I have racked up over 30 awards in international festivals for my short films including Best Debut Filmmaker, Best Short Film, Best Actor, Best Drama and more.

In this film, I focused on a successful couple to show that infidelity and domestic violence can happen to anyone regardless of social status. I hope this film brings healing to domestic violence survivors while also inspiring people who are stuck in that situation to rise above it.
