Award-winning filmmaker, director, writer, & cinematographer based in Boston
Film has been a huge part of my life. I began pursuing filmmaking when I was in middle school, transforming my passion for drawing and visual arts into a new art form.
I never think much when creating film, but an innate expression of how I feel and what I wish to see on either screen or portrayed in real life. To me, this is a way to speak, a way to show the audience something they might not realize without troubling or worrying their minds.
Filmmaking is a form that is constantly changing, shifting in tone and style by the moment, like Ovid and his Metamorphoses, a spiritual and divine world of constant change and transformation, and my job as a filmmaker is just to try to capture those glimpses of thoughts and occurrences as much and best as possible.
I see film as a liberating art form. I see the making of a film like the painting and building of mosaics, piece by piece for a big picture, for a big idea that sometimes cannot be perceived concretely, but rather be felt, experienced through thinking, action, and emotion. Sometimes, some things are better to show than tell; a message, observation, perhaps, or the pure euphoria of a careless mind.
Anyhow, I just think sometimes the urge to write and create is too big, too overbearing, that it interferes with common thinking and functioning. It is an outlet for things that we might or have experienced, a tool for retrospection and anticipation. This is fun, right? The urge to either share about oneself or think about the unknown.
After all, entertainment is always based on the pleasure of knowing the unknown, no?
