Writer Statement

I grew up in the filmmaking world. Initially, I was too young to understand it, but as I grew older I developed a bigger appreciation to what film is. The power of storytelling can transport an audience member out of this world into one where they can be seen, heard, argued with and joked to. It can make you cry and laugh or both at the same time. I started screenwriting at a young age to capture moments of humanity that can connect to audiences no matter their background. I hope to move people, make them laugh and possibly make them cry.
