About Me
Filmmaker. Storyteller.
Born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, my journey as a filmmaker began long before I ever held a camera. As a child, films were more than entertainment—they were an escape, a portal to other worlds when mine felt confined. One vivid memory from the late 90s stands out: sitting in front of that massive, heavy brown TV with a big back that doubled as a stand, my siblings and I would watch movies on VHS, our favorite being Mrs. Doubtfire. The film wasn't just something we watched; it was an immersive experience. The tape's whirring, the screen's warmth, and the shared laughter in our living room made it feel like we were part of something larger. In these moments, I first felt the pull of storytelling—the idea that film could transport you, make you think deeply, and connect you with others.
But it wasn't until I stumbled upon the behind-the-scenes footage of Avatar (2009) that I truly fell in love with filmmaking. Watching how James Cameron orchestrated a world unlike any other, using motion capture and green screens, was awe-inspiring. It was about the process, the controlled chaos, the teamwork, and the relentless pursuit of a vision.
Now, as a filmmaker, I live for the entire process. From the meticulous planning in pre-production to the excitement of being on set and carefully piecing together a story in post-production, I thrive in every stage. My writing has evolved, bringing more depth and complexity to my narratives, and sitting in the director's chair feels natural. Still, I'm constantly pushing—never too comfortable—because I believe true creativity lies in discomfort. Every frame should leave an impression, whether subtle or bold and, above all, it should be unforgettable. Storytelling is my drive, and my goal is to create films that resonate deeply with diverse audiences, leaving them with something to hold on to long after the credits roll.
