Story above all. You have to start with a good story. Prefers to write about reality. Real emotions, real problems, real consequences.
Everything You Never Asked
After being influenced by directors like Dario Argento, Martin Scorsese, and Lars Von Trier, he realized he wanted to pursue filmmaking after sitting in a cinema watching the double feature that is Grindhouse in 2007. He went into university thinking about founding LMT Films until he meet Molly Selep who changed his life. After he took a long hiatus, the pandemic woke up something in him. He married Molly and revitalized his career with State Trooper, winning two laurels out of state as he convinced his team to start the journey with him. His favorite film is either The Dark Knight or Fellini's 8-1/2 depending on the day.
