So I've been making short films for about three years now. I initially wanted to go into journalism but fell in love with narrative film. I love the freedom you have when creating a narrative piece and depending on the perspective of the director it can create a whole other meeting to the story. I make moves to entertain, educate, and to inspire. I also just like to be creepy every now and then and explore other worlds through film. A movie lets other people see the world the way you envision it. When you film a movie you also create a small community.

A Note on Equipment
Some people say that the equipment makes the film, but it's the people and the passion. You don't need a $10,000 camera to tell a great story. You just need people with a vision. A good camera helps, but if you know what you're doing you can make a $5,000 movie on a cell phone just by using practical lighting and practical effects. The equipment does not make the film.
