MEDIA, TELEVISION, THEATER & FILM
I'm a storyteller. As an independent filmmaker my job is to bring your story to life. As a black filmmaker I want to see our people flourish in this industry behind and in front of the camera. For years blacks have played the servant role or the sidekick to the white lead actor. I want to make films that cast us in a different light. I want to make films that we want to see ourselves in.
