OK, so instead of doing an awkward biography about myself, let’s do a more natural approach—Q&A anyone?

Besides, I find it totally unethical to gloat in the first-person… Much more rational to do a Q&A with yourself…

Clears Throat, Lets begin:

Q. Tell me a little about yourself—where are you from?

A. I’m originally from the U.S. Virgin Islands, but have lived in Florida for the past six years.

Q. Fascinating. So it’s safe to say your childhood “playground” was rather unique?

A. I’d say so. I spent the majority of my time outside. We didn’t have a T.V. until I was about ten, so I had to rely on my own imagination for entertainment.

Q. When was it you knew you wanted to pursue film?

A. I had a mini “identity crisis” when I was 15 because I realized I had no idea what I wanted to do. It was silly. I began searching for things I would enjoy, and somewhere along that journey I stumbled on filmmaking.

Q. Do you consider film to be a hobby or a passion?

A. Definitely a passion. I’d be insane to have put the amount of energy I have into just a hobby. Even photography, which I got into a few months ago, is becoming a passion of mine.

Q. That brings me to the next subject—photography. What is your hope with photography?

A. I decided to take a photography class to better my filmmaking—by training my eyes to see light. I never expected to enjoy photography as much as I have. I’d even consider myself a filmmaker/photographer.

Q. Where do you draw inspiration from?

A. From living. I find inspiration comes at random by just experiencing life. Also, I can’t help but be inspired by other creative people. Vimeo.com is a huge guilty pleasure of mine.

Q. Are you planning to attend an Art School for film or photography?

A. Yes, I’ve been accepted into the Film BFA program at The University of Central Florida.

Q. Congratulations. What type of films do you plan to make?

A. I intent to mostly focus on gritty “dramas.” I want my films to make people reevaluate what they think they already know. Ultimately, I hope to create compelling stories that connect with people’s emotions.

Q. What are your plans after graduation from Film School?

A. This is going to sound off topic, but I love the French. It’s probably all Jock Sturges fault—his photography has permanently engraved a sort of fantasy of French culture. Once I graduate, I’m moving immediately to Montréal, CA. It’s very “French,” and yet not too foreign that I’m completely dysfunctional.

Q. Last question: Where do you see yourself in ten years?

A. If all goes according to plan, which nothing ever does, I see myself enjoying life in Montréal as a filmmaker and photographer. I don’t intent to make the next big blockbuster hit. I strive for something more challenging—to make a film that leaves an everlasting impression in someone’s life.

Q. I have seen your work and I must confess, I am a fan. Best of luck.

A. Thank you.
