About

A Filmmaker and Video Editor who creates short films of all genres for both Vimeo and YouTube. Served as Vice President, video editor, and social media manager of SFC Terrier TV from 2018-2020, winning numerous awards in both educational and media fields during that tenure. Fascinated with classic music, art, and historical events. My objective in life is to learn more about history to incorporate more aspects of it into my life and the movies I create. These movies are intended to range across different subject matters and forms of storytelling. For me, the point of studying is to use elements of both history and overall media as inspiration for future projects of interesting potential which have already been conceived independently by myself. Largely inspired by the likes of Stanley Kubrick, Charlie Chaplin and Quentin Tarantino, my goal in life is to direct movies, thereby telling stories in exciting and pensive new ways.
