Biography
I have always been enchanted by the power of film. Being raised in Colorado, I was surrounded by mountains and vast hills. I loved to explore these hills and dream about the stories that could be told. The way film can tell dramatic and engaging stories right before our eyes is something I still find amazing to this day. Growing up I loved playing with images and sounds: creating home videos and sound effects with what I had laying around. I would use my stuffed animals and puppets as actors and start to come up with my own stories. One of my early films from childhood was about a lobster that wanted to play classical instruments. From there I dove right into the world of film. Working at a movie theater I got to see a lot of free movies and I decided to shoot a film thereafter we would close. Trying to imitate what I had seen on the big screen. As a film producer, I ask myself, what is the best way to tell this story? A story can be told in many ways, my passion is finding the perfect one.
