Director Statement

Shamed is my directorial debut and it would not have been possible without God’s grace and the belief of Aaron L. Williams. Aaron is a visionary creator who wrote Shamed, and at first just offered me the Lead role in the film. We’d worked together previously on the Christmas film Holidate which I also starred in and was our first time meeting. I admired his ability to run a set and be in the position to do so by being resourceful and betting on his self. When he presented Shamed to me, I stepped out on faith and asserted my desires to evolve the expression of my artistry to directing. Aaron knew I hadn’t directed a fully budgeted feature film before but that didn’t phase him. He knew everyone, including himself, has to start somewhere. All they need is a chance. He bet on me. The odds were in our favor and we made a classy, classic for all ages to enjoy. And for that I thank him. I stand as a living testimony of letting your passionate desires fuel you to live a courageously bold life to witness your wildest dreams come true!
