What kind of work are you excited to make next?

I'm enthralled to make bigger and more complex work, putting immense effort into all stages of development: research and development, writing, pre-production, production, post-production, and distribution. Throughout this year in particular, I've found more of who I want to be, what that means, and how I can act and execute on it. I'm looking at how I can apply my self realized genre of experimental narrative into both the visual and written structure of my work. 

What are your hopes/goals for your senior year? And beyond?

I hope for this coming year that I can stick to and excel perhaps from the agenda I've set myself on in regards to my senior project, internship, event planning and creation, financial stability, and collaborative networking.

After MCAD is not as well thought out yet, but I intend to stay in the local industry and develop myself for a short time right after, however, Toronto and the coasts are on my mind as well. I know that no matter what, the only way forward is to keep making what I want and need to make, so whatever happens, I'll see to that. Eventually, I see myself working in the independent cinema scene, and I'll only step foot in the Hollywood system to destroy it. 

Best thing you ever got on the free shelf?

90% of everything I own. A 36-inch monitor, Macbook, traffic cone, various exit signs, two bookshelves, a Herman Miller desk chair, and every cable I'll ever need would have to top the list though.

Current obsession?

Current obsessions hobby-wise are biking and circuit bending.
