Film Overview

Film is the medium which most closely resembles our subconscious. It is the stuff of dreams, where we watch dramas unfold and try to use what we learn from them to understand the world around us. A pretty highfalutin statement to introduce my short little projects, but this is what I believe and why I make them.

Screenwriting

Yeah, whatever, who isn't working on a screenplay. Drop me a line, I'd be glad to give you a pitch.
