I began making short films in 9th Grade, running around with my friends into the odd hours of the night with nothing but my dad’s DSLR camera and a cheap microphone. While I’ve grown since then, encountering unique challenges like directing underwater film sequences and working under heavy COVID-19 restrictions, I strive to maintain that same joy of creation and collaboration on set as I’d felt so many years ago.
My belief is that art cannot thrive without a sense of play.
