22 year old recent graduate from North Carolina with dreams of becoming a full-time music video/film director. I started dabbling in videography since high school and have been pursuing it ever since. I directed a documentary for a student film festival that reached the 2015 Cannes Film Festival. I started a street photography club at my university in 2016 and it is still in operation. Nowadays, I split my time between filmmaking and photography. I love working with people and cameras, listening to hip-hop music, watching sports, and eating good food!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been working on films for a while in the local NC area and am looking to expand my network as I slowly move away from the schooling life. I'm excited to grow with my craft as I continue to collaborate with and learn from people all across the country and beyond.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a hip-hop enthusiast. Some of my favorite artists are Action Bronson, Tribe Called Quest, Kendrick Lamar and all of the TDE squad, Chance The Rapper, 2 Chainz, as well as many underground acts. Outside of hip-hop, I love The Gorillaz, Flying Lotus, Miles Davis, etc.

I enjoy watching all kinds of movies. I am not really tied to one more than another. I do enjoy Scorsese, Kubrick, Wes Anderson, and Spielberg, but also like classic kung-fu movies as well.

I read all sorts of books. Some of my favorites are the Harry Potter series, The Four Agreements, The Alchemist, The Watchman, and The War of Art.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took a self-shot and directed documentary about a local hip-hop/spoken word gathering in Raleigh, North Carolina to the 2015 Cannes Film Festival Short Film Corner in Cannes, France.
