Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
to make beautiful films and connect people through art
ABOUT ME
I grew up in Los Angeles, went to college at Yale, then lived in Nice, France for one year, followed by a month in Taiwan at a Buddhist monastery, followed by six months in London where I began to work for a theatre producer. Now I live in New York where I'm pursuing a career in theater and film.
PHILOSOPHY
Naturalism - Let everything flow the way it wants to, without judgment, see the variety of interpretations surrounding any instance, prioritize enjoying every situation, set intentions and calculate decisions, but most importantly: know when to feel instead of think.
