 I'm passionate about filmmaking because film is one of the most universal forms of communication and the most emotional impactive to what I'm a narrative filmmaker and when you have a story that you bring to life on a film, there's a certain timelessness about it that will endure and endure and endure, you know, whether it's 20 years from now or 100 years from now. And as a filmmaker, as a writer and director, I strive to tell stories not necessarily just for a commercial or an economic reason, but to tell a story that will impact and, you know, have effects for the community.
