I would say I never aspired to be a filmmaker per se. Acting has always been my main focus since I was very young. I was only motivated to make a movie because I had an idea for a story, which precociously enough, I thought was important to be told. I play the guitar a little for myself as an alternate creative outlet.

Never having gone to film school, making this movie was my film school in a sense. And fortunately for me, I hooked up with an amazing group of collaborators and creative artists. Kelly Miller, my producer, while being a completely bang-up lead producer, is also an amazing creative producer.
