CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I LOVE MAKING THINGS. I'm originally trained as an artist - painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, video, photography you name it... I also love fashion and am slowly learning how to make my own clothes. I only recently found my passion for film but it is huge and grows by the day - I love the collaborative process and film allows me to not only be creative but be social while doing it. I'm primarily a director but work in the art department quite often on my own films as well as those of others. I also edit and produce my own work when I cant find someone who has the time to work with me.

PHILOSOPHY

"Great people are those who make others feel that they, too, can become great."
(Mark Twain)
