WRITER & DIRECTOR
I make hybrid genre films, tv shows, and plays with a high concept, low budget approach.
I like bold, unique stories, and eccentric, earnest, complicated, vulnerable characters.
I’m drawn to the crunchy, overlooked, under-appreciated, misunderstood corners of our universe.
Stories that confront the divine absurdity of life & its profound impermanence. Stories that ask the question: how do we live?
I think we need more transgressive, sexy, sex-positive, multi-cultural, queer and trans saturated, hybrid genre stories with socio-political commentary, emotional depth, and that aren’t afraid to have teeth, and lean into farce, camp, action, pulp, gender fuckery, and absurdity with a rebellious, passionate RAWR!
Inspired by heroes like Rainer Fassbinder, Bill Gunn, Roger Corman, Derek Jarman, Russ Meyer, John Carpenter, Cheryl Dunye, Hal Ashby, Bob Fosse, Pasolini, Buñuel, John Sayles, The Wachowskis, Jon Waters–who swam freely between the high brow and the low brow to make indelible, rebellious art that spoke to the time, and to the future
