Director's Statement
My passion for filmmaking and the Horror genre drives me to put my heart and soul into everything I create for the Big Screen. My projects exude traces of classical horror, modern day horror with a touch of current events. I am committed to bringing an emotional response to my films that leave the audience with a feeling they can’t quite shake.
