Being an independent filmmaker is a pretty nerve-racking existence for someone like me. I am quite new to the art form and sometimes I feel like I'm a small fish in a pond full of amazing artists. Too be honest most of the time I feel like I don't know what I am doing and my expertise in the field is quite limited. But when I really think about it, none of the hype or false sense of quality control matters. I don't thrive off how many views/likes my films garner or the expected impressive technical skill, I really dig the idea of the true personal relation I have with each of my viewers, each person as a single human being. In a world of disposable information I like to think that I nurture a charactor message in all of my films. Most of my film work is quite deep and confronting, but to me that is what is real and it's critical that I hold dearly to that purpose. But I don't think I ever picked up a camera to be the next big hype in the world of film... to me it's about being in the moment, connecting with people and knowing how important that is. Film making has awarded me the most humbling situations with some of the brilliant people in my life and it's pretty rad that I can make an art out of that.
