From my earliest memories as far back as 2 years of age, I’ve always loved the cinema. If you’ve ever seen the AMC advertisement with Nicole Kidman, that pretty much sums up my experience. My favorite part of the movie theater experience other than the movies themselves is the communal feel of being in the audience. Sharing a room with over a hundred strangers laughing, crying, and gasping at the same time. That feeling is unlike any other, and is one of my primary driving forces whenever I'm in a creative space: building a sense of community. When it comes to writing, I believe it's important to craft stories from perspectives not seen as often in the mainstream. In my acting, I always try my best to make the character feel, speak, and think like a genuine person rather than a caricature. And when it comes to filmmaking, I love to craft the type of films that I would want to see or be inspired by, no matter the genre. I believe that it's important as an artist to stay true to the art no matter the genre.
