Statement
There are many people in the world
who are overlooked every single day.
Dismissed, and often forced to live a life separate from society. I intend to open the minds and hearts of my
audience with my art. I aspire to spread
awareness with my work; a focus on documentaries and narrative cinema. With a sharp eye on each individual aspect that must marry in order to create a realistic and compelling film, I aim to
recreate the lives of the ignored and share them with the world. I want to make their laughter, Our laughter; their struggle, Our struggle; their achievements, Our achievements; so we can
begin to come together as a community, filled with understanding and
compassion, ready to band together and help each other live to the best of our
abilities.
Knowing some of these amazing and forgotten people, quite personally, I am inspired and honored to be able to share their stories with the world through my brand of art. I am quirky, off beat,
unpredictable, silly, and sarcastic, and I aim to show this through my
work. I believe that not every documentary
should be dry and dull. I want my
audience to enjoy the experience I lay before them, and walk away a little more
knowledgeable because of it. I am
fascinated by the intricacy of creating a room, and the importance small objects
can hold during a powerful scene. John
Waters, Joel and Ethan Cohen, and Quentin Tarrantino are among my favorite
directors, because of their unique styles and intense attention to detail. I am very excited to hone my skills and start
sharing the stories of all the beautiful people around me with the world.
