Writer Statement

I am interested in using the film medium to probe the hidden corners of the secret, intimate lives of human beings. Solitary moments, sexual expressions, the coping mechanisms we all share--these intrigue me. I am also fascinated by the idea of "time travel," putting myself imaginatively into other periods and living those times through my characters.
