Bio   

     I started making films with my little brothers and neighborhood friends at the age of 8. We would spend our entire summers making, what we thought, the greatest films ever. Included in our plethora of hit films are those titled Funky Dudette, Loopy Hoopy B-Ball, and New Before Bedtime. The best scene in all of these was definitley the 2 minute long opening credits with epic music and sick font transistions.

     Despite these movies being awfully painful to watch, my parents lied and told me they were great. Thus fuelling my creativity to make more awful films, that eventually improved and went on to win awards in film festivals and ad contests.  

    Miraculously I was admitted to USC's School of Cinematic Arts, where I am currently I'm a sophomore majoring in tv and film production. Eventually I would love to one day direct a feature length film or two.
