Director Statement

I always had a special place for comedies in my heart. They were able to lift me up when I was at my lowest points in life. "A Table Discussion" is one of those films that will always hold a special place in me. What make it so special that it was my first big production that I directed with little experience in directing, and I’ll admit, I was terrified at first. With the help and guidance of my producer, Steven Lopez, "A Table Discussion" has shaped itself into a film that is unique in our time. I, along with others have high hopes that this film will please many audiences, and will have a fun time watching it as I did directing it.
