Dichotomy
This is the first real film I ever made. I was a freshman in college. It tells the story of a man dealing with a OCD disorder. He is in pursuit of an intruder in his home, only for him to find out the intruder is himself.

This is my first film I directed on a sound stage. It was an assignment in my Directing I class. We were given a script (Which were all terrible) and told to make anything we liked. We had 3:30 hours to build our entire set and shoot the full scene. I created a reality of my own while showing my thoughts on modern day politics.
Director’s Statement : Dry Water
The reason for me making a film that is as outrageous and absurd as mine is because when I look at the modern world I see that it is full or irrational souls and irrational minds. I constantly witness how people get so outraged and upset over things that can easily be solved with a simple rational conversation. In the modern day where we are becoming more and more dominated by technology and even just information in general, it makes sense that people begin to become less and less rational, simply because our brains have never had to deal with something of this magnitude before. A lot of the irrational behavior is coming from people involved in politics and I see a tribal split between two opposing forces (being people on the right and people on the left). Not only do we see Donald Trump, a outsider to politics come in and win a presidential election, but we see people daily, literally asking for him to be killed. Do people not realize how serious of a threat that is? What makes people think that saying something like that about anyone is okay? And we see this from people on the far right and the far left. We see situations like Harvey Weinstein who is a sick twisted man, and then we see people using fake rape accusations to ruin peopled careers, and then after all that, we all forget it even happened because we are too focused on the “NEW INFO” We see Jussie Smollet, stage a fake attack on HIMSELF and say it was done by trump supporters in order to advance his own career. We are currently living in a episode of Twilight Zone. For all of these reasons and many more is why I feel that I need to make this film. I need to show others what our modern day state of mind is and how our brains are operating. Overall my goal with this film is to showcase the world we live in in 2019. I believe that we don't realize the significance of our existence in 2019. We are adapting and evolving at a speed never before seen on earth, but while this is happening we are also suffering from the “Information Overload” thats happening today.

This is a film I made during Covid-19. It’s the story of an older man who loses his wife and must face his new reality of loneliness.
This is a much different style of filmmaking for me. I learned so much about me as a director from this production.
