Director Statement

For a long time I've be studying and making projects that helped grow specific skills for narrative film. In recent years I've been producing and directing projects that utilize everything I've learned from both behind and in front of the camera. My current goal is to become DGA and direct movies full time. The Tailor was meant to show was I can do with a full budget of my own at the time. I funded the project out of pocket and give jobs to over 50 people to make it happen.
