Filmmaker Statement

I started filmmaking not to long ago. At a young age, all I ever wanted to be was a musician.
I consider myself pretty good at playing the drums, I'd practice everyday and played every
Sunday at my home church. It wasn't until one day my father, who's also the head pastor, needed someone to shoot and edit a 28 minute Television program for church. At the time, I had nothing to do with the Television ministry in church, but the person in charge of that ministry had taken permanent leave of absence. So, to help my father, I learned how to work with cameras and also learned Final Cut. This became a new hobby for me. A new interest.
