I'm a film student studying in and working out of L.A.
I was born in New York and grew up in several states.
My passion for cinema really spawned while I was in high school, and it led me to pursue the path of making my own films to express myself.
This project was so close to not getting finished.
The story was a mess from the get go, before we began shooting in February.
After several endless nights (early mornings) of shooting run and gun around New York City with a two-man crew, which comprised about 70-80% of the shooting schedule, it was no surprise when the majority of the footage didn't cut well in the editing room.
After wrapping in February/March, I lost faith in the project for several months. I worked on other films, etc., and then came back with my editor in December and approached it into a different structure that ended up working.
It was a frustrating process, and I certainly won't make the same mistakes again, but it was an important chapter of my life that I learned so much from, and won't forget.
