Director Statement

As a child, I was intensely charmed by magic tricks.
I felt like the real power the magician had was to suspend a strange moment, turning it into an enjoyable experience.
The magician made me feel safe experiencing anxiety.

My main motivation in film making is allow my audience to hold their judgment and let their curiosity and attraction develop instead while asking difficult questions.
