Director Statement

As a six-year-old living in a rural town in Michigan, I got into a fight with a friend of mine over what film to watch on "Movie Night." She wanted to watch Hocus Pocus. I wanted to watch Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). We watched Hocus Pocus. Afterwards, I went home and watched Nightmare, until my mother "caught" me and threw the video tape into the trash.

That's when I decided I must make movies.
