I have spent the past twenty years putting one moving image against another, and in that space between the two truth is created. Telling stories visually has been one of the most aesthetically and emotionally rewarding experiences of my life. It doesn't matter if it's thirty seconds or thirty minutes and beyond; creating that moment, that space where people's hearts and minds flood from the images projected before them is what I am on Earth for. And tacos. Recently I have made the move into directing with my feature length documentary Hoopties, for which I took home Best Documentary at the Maryland International Film Festival. I have other projects in the works that I can't wait to tell you about. Maybe over some tacos, sometime.
