Director Statement

Blue Fruit the short film turned out to be an apt reflection of the project -a bit crazy- as it was written, shot and edited in 48hrs with no budget and a skeleton crew. Hopefully its a signal to other young filmmakers that your ambition need not be limited by your lack of budget or time. A love for storytelling and a great team can help capture original work and be a great testing ground for an artist to develop ideas.
