STATEMENT
Every person is born with an innate ability to do something great. The way someone sees the world, the way they perceive people and their struggles, shapes a person’s character. This applies to creative works as well. When a work is created, a piece of the creator goes into it.

Living in this wide world, filled with too many stories to tell and people with various viewpoints to portray, I feel compelled to seek out those overlooked people, and their stories, and bring them into the light. That is my purpose as a filmmaker and storyteller.
When I create, it’s because I want people to feel something; no matter how loud and proud or violent and destructive it is. The pure emotion of humanity’s moral standpoints are my boundaries. These ideas are the driving force in my stories, portraying anything and everything the world has to offer.
