Director Statement

I discovered that there was a big difference between watching movies and making them. My early work was heavily influenced by Nolan's filmography, but then I took Tarantino's advice: make the movies that I myself would want to watch. Since then, I've been on that continuous search for an authentic voice, creating stories that resonate with me.
