I exited the womb bursting with passion for creating, especially in film. I love using all the creative elements available in film, visual arts, cinematography, sound, editing and music to convey both information and emotion.
Learning to Drive is a passion project of mine, many years in the making, that was inspired by my brother Andy who has Down syndrome. This short film went on to win over two dozen awards at film festivals around the globe.
I spent two years traveling over 40k miles, shooting over 100 hours of interviews with individuals, couples, therapists, psychologists, anthropologists, content creators and advocacy groups about various alternatives forms of relationship. This link is to the first 10 minute of this recently completed documentary which we’ve just begun submitting to film festivals.
