Statement
I have been in search of form, just like I have been in search of home. My practice — once armored with sureness and didacticism — has shed its skin. When I look at its core — weathered, softened, bare — it is the longing to tell the stories that I want to tell.

I want to tell them with as much depth, sincerity and humility as I can. I have become a filmmaker.
