I am deeply passionate about storytelling, believing in its power to inspire, unite, and provoke thought. Throughout my career, I have been driven to explore narratives that challenge societal norms and delve into the complexities of human emotions.

One of my most rewarding projects was creating the short film "Echoes of Vengeance" during the 48Hour Film Project LA. As the team leader, I collaborated with a team to write, produce, shoot, and edit the film in just two days. This intense experience tested my skills and creativity, resulting in a powerful story of justice and retribution. The project exemplifies my dedication to using cinema to explore deep, often uncomfortable truths.

Directors like Spike Lee and Christopher Nolan, whose work pushes the boundaries of storytelling, have greatly influenced my approach to filmmaking. The emotional depth of Hans Zimmer’s cinematic score also inspires me, driving me to create art that resonates visually and emotionally.

My global travels and experiences with diverse cultures have enriched my storytelling, adding depth and authenticity to my work. My passion for culinary exploration also brings unique perspectives to the narratives I create, making my stories relatable to a broad audience.

As an African American filmmaker, I’m committed to inclusivity and diversity. I strive to portray diverse perspectives and tell stories that might otherwise go unheard. I believe in the power of film to bridge cultural divides, and my pending project, “El Protector,” is also a testament to this belief, exploring themes of protection, loyalty, and justice.

My journey as a filmmaker is marked by continuous growth and innovation. I’m always seeking new ways to challenge the norm, whether experimenting with narrative structures or embracing new technologies. My work celebrates the power of storytelling not just as entertainment but as a means to evoke emotion, provoke thought, and connect people across the globe.

Beyond filmmaking, I’m passionate about mentoring others. I’m dedicated to guiding the next generation of filmmakers, sharing my knowledge and experience to help them find their voice. My story is one of resilience, passion, and an unwavering pursuit of excellence in storytelling.

At the core of my work is a desire to connect the world through storytelling. Whether capturing the emotions of a moment in a photograph or weaving together a complex narrative in a film, my goal is to create work that leaves a lasting impact. I strive to remind audiences of the transformative power of stories.

I see myself as a filmmaker and a storyteller with a vision. I’m dedicated to creating a richer, more inclusive narrative landscape. Through my films, photography, and creative projects, I aim to inspire, challenge, and connect people from all walks of life, using storytelling as a bridge to understanding and empathy.
