Artist Statement
I've always been interested in the technical aspect of filmmaking and always had a particular liking to the process of editing and setting up shots. I enjoy making pieces that flow with continuity and that contain shots that have a purpose in telling the story. You can set up a shot in many ways to convey different types of meanings in regards to what is happening in the piece you are filming. It's my desire to make sure that everything I shoot has a reason to be shot. I also pay close attention to editing and would like that every cut I make has purpose in regards to the pacing of a scene and anything else that helps tell the story of a project. It's a strong belief of mine that every shot and editing choice should contribute to moving the story forward. I'm influenced by many directors such as Antoine Fuqua, Jean-Luc Godard, Martin Scorsese, Wes Ander...
