STATEMENT
I make videos and short films because I enjoy taking an idea or story and transforming it into a full, professionally edited film. It provides an escape from the real world and allows me a sense of control and freedom where I can be creative and deliberate with what I want to do. I always film content based on fun, location-based story ideas that I’m really interested in. I ensure that I use different frames and angles based on how I want my audience to feel and think about the events of the film, like a close up on someone’s face to emphasize what they’re feeling. Lastly, I edit the film completely and add any effects I need to strengthen the film, like color correction or transitions, and make sure it’s all consistent and enjoyable to the viewer. I just want my audience to get what I’m trying to tell through the film. I strive to make a big impact on people’s lives through my films by proving that a well told and shot story can go a long way in making people appreciate and enjoy valuable themes and lessons.
