Valley of The Children
We slide into our garage, close the door and never get to know our neighbors. We live in buildings filled with thousands of people and we don't know any of them. This is by choice not by consequence. We've bought this lifestyle and have watched over it's growth. Whether it's suburban or urban we've created a crushing sound on the happiness of humanity. We've chosen, through our actions, the clean convenience of solitude over the messy confusing world of togetherness. Our only real fear in this rounded smooth environment is that of the manufactured. The fear of something far away that will never occur. Wake up, reach out and connect back with humanity. Give yourself to the global tribe. No self, know self and realize the only difference between us is the circumstance of our lives.

Over the years I've worked every job you can find on a call sheet which has allowed me to have immense respect for the crew. It takes a creative village to produce memorable work. In my mind it’s not enough to just show up and film. For me the past twelve years has been about using my heart to connect with the hearts and stories of others. You have to approach a world with honesty, humility and empathy in order to reach the emotional well you want to draw from. Making sure the lives in front of the lens are honored and respected during the entire production process is the most important thing to me as a filmmaker.
