I recently saw a 35mm print of Pickpocket and it blew me away. Right now, I’ve been really into Robert Bresson’s work. This is a hard one – I have my phases with directors. Whereas my commercials are comedic, my narrative work deals with a lot darker subject matter, as evidenced by the short film mentioned earlier.ħ) Who is your favorite director and why? My sister & I are working on a script at the moment. I do also have my eye on the world of features. The trick is to make sure that despite the nonsensical premise, there is a solid concept that comes across to the viewer. I think the tone of my commercial work is very much influenced by internet humor where the less it makes sense, the funnier it is. I love working with my hands and at times I don’t know what to do with them on set! Depending on the shoot, you might see me bring a ukulele or Spanish guitar along just to have something in my hands during down time or when discussing a particular shot with my department heads.ĥ) What is your current career focus: commercials & branded content, TV, movies? Do you plan to specialize in a particular genre-comedy, drama, visual effects, etc.? When you’re writing or in pre-production, it’s easy to get carried away & dream big but bringing in real world limitations (time, money, etc.) is where the challenge is – it’s like a riddle the entire crew is working to solve.Ĥ) What is the worst part of being a director? The intersection between the concept and how you’re going to execute it is always most exciting to me. The story is about a Jewish prostitute in WWII who is set to be executed after murdering a Nazi officer for a cigarette.ģ) What is the best part of being a director? I’m currently in pre-production for a short film titled KEZIA.
My sister is a writer her constant story-telling rubbed off on me and directing was a natural fit. When DSLRs started having video capabilities, I began experimenting with moving images. I used to sneak into the labs after hours to develop my black & white film – it’s where I learned the foundations of the medium. My interest in directing really started when I enrolled in photography class my senior year in high school.
