Director's Statement
I see the world as film - meaning, I see a story in everyday life. I've always been a storyteller, even as a child, and I always build my writing and my stories as visual components that jump out at the viewer ' whether it's comedy, action or science fiction. I believe big-budget action movies can, and should have tender moments, just like an intimate two-person love story can be as powerful as a punch to the jaw.
