Director Statement

I have been interested in filmmaking for as long as I can remember and enjoy every aspect of it. I believe in creating new and exciting stories and challenging your audience members.

Every project I create, I hope is different. In 2009, My film (The Lightness) won the Co-Operative Young Filmmakers National Award. Before making Cheesecake I remember watching The Terminator for the first time on television, I was spellbound. It challenged me, It inspired me and I hope with the films I create I can inspire others filmmakers too.
