Growing up in California and being a shy kid, I gravitated towards photography. I saw my father taking a bunch of pictures, so I picked up his camera. I‘ve always enjoyed looking through the lens and taking pictures. I realized that after I’d left high school that I could be a television camera man. 

 

After college,I realized that television was not the thing for me.  I said Aha! I want to become a filmmaker.  It was the films that I watched in film appreciation courses and the art of the image that was a more artistic thing to me as opposed to just being in television.  The want and desire to be a filmmaker did not match my expertise or my timing.  Because I was in Washington, DC at Howard University, I said to myself, “Wow, they don’t make movies in DC, you need to be back in LA where you grew up.”  So I put it all on the back burner for 20 to 30 years.  After being executive producer of a TV show about filmmaking.  I then decided to make my own film.

Knowing the power of the moving image on an audience I then developed Social Cinema.  An entertaining way to bring awareness to social issues.
