Director Statement

“Secret Space” is a short film years in the making, written before I ever went to film school. Finally, I was able to make the film in school with the help of a large crew of dedicated classmates and friends and the encouragement from the faculty at The Los Angeles Film School. In many ways, I can relate to the lead male character, Dan, who just doesn’t seem to fit in. Nicole is the type of outgoing, strong female lead character that I prefer, and it is she who through perseverance and sacrifice eventually leads Dan to his rightful place in the world. “Secret Space” is an ode to the sci-fi and fantasy films that I grew up with and some of which were around long before I was born.
