Director Statement

Cinema has always been something that I can't put into words beyond its hypnotic. I'm from the generation of pre-internet, so my days of youth was spent staying up late watching Canon films, Friday night features, Late Night cinema and whatever was playing at the movies that grabbed my interest. Because of this varying interest of mine, I don't want to make movies that please all people. I want to make movies that make you talk about it, see it again and talk about it more.
