It starts with half of me as a sperm and the other half as an egg. And for 30 years, both have been separate from each other—and then...union. And 40 weeks later, escape.
I've been a cinephile since I was born. I remember from a very early age I could memorize dialogue. Then when I was about ten years old -- I can't remember the year -- I saw Steven Spielberg's JAWS for the first time. That was when I got serious about wanting to be a director.
I graduated from Scottsdale Community College with a degree in Film Production and three certificates in Screenwriting, Production: Film, and Editing. I've operated the boom and the dolly, and I'm also an editor and have edited two short movies for someone else. I'm always willing to learn other aspects of moviemaking.
I started my day gig at Harkins Superstition Springs 25 on December 23, 2013, and left on May 4, 2017. I loved it over there. I did. From May 5, 2017, to March 2020, I worked as an assistant manager at Harkins Valley Art. Once it shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I returned to Harkins Superstition Springs 25 and worked there until May 25, 2021, when I was terminated for reasons not mentioned here. From August 10, 2021, to August 24, 2022, I worked at a fulfillment center for Gap Inc. After moving to Tucson on August 30, I started my current day gig at Zia Record Exchange.
I have a YouTube page where you can see my short films.
Currently, I'm building a reel and a résumé. And hopefully, you'll be able to see both sooner rather than later.
