For as long as I can remember I have been enamored with the magic of motion pictures. I recall asking my parents most evenings what time I would need to finish my homework to have time to watch a movie. Turns out, you can watch Disney’s Hercules an innumerable amount of times.As soon as I got my hands on my parents Hi-8 camcorder in middle school, I started making my own little “movies.” Since then, I’ve directed more than 20 short films.
