Filmmaker Statement

I've always been drawn to storytelling. When I was in college a friend of mine said "you should make audiobooks". "What do you mean?" I asked. He said that he enjoyed the ways that I told stories. He said I had the uncanny ability to make it feel like the story I was telling was something that he had experienced as well. Even though he hadn't been there.

I've always held this compliment in the highest regard, and do my best to use my abilities as a visual storyteller to make people feel like THEY are experiencing first hand what they are watching in my films. I think that, and my strength's as an editor are what make my work compelling. I hope that others feel that way as well.
