I love being a filmmaker.
My entire goal for entering this project is name recognition. This project has confirmed my insatiable desire to exceed the standards of traditional filmmaking. Opportunities like the 11Eleven11 Project gives the new generation of filmmakers like myself the platform to become as successful as I want.
I am so grateful for meeting Sharon Tomlinson in 2008. I have volunteered on many projects for as a director of photography, videographer and/or an editor. My desire was to continually perfect my skills as a filmmaker academically and professionally. She has always encouraged me that one day it will pay off for all of us. So, four years later, it has come to fruition and this is only the tip of the iceberg.

When it comes to love, there are consequences, whether good or bad, but it is important to be truthful to you and learn the lesson. The choices we make do not only affect us, but someone else as well. Your happiness is most important.
Who are your personals idols in the industry?
Alfred Hitchcock – for paving the way for filmmakers. Queen Latifah – for evolving, transforming from a music artist to producer, director actress to Cover Girl model and crossing all platforms. She is yet excelling beyond all expectations. Martin Scorsese – for Hugo. He truly showed that even as a seasoned filmmaker it is possible to evolve, “flip the script” and do something totally different with sheer success.
