I love storytelling and being able to creative write my stories into a visual. I come from a creative background and can’t imagine spending my life not telling stories. I have creatively directed ten of my own music videos. I have written and composed my own music and I’m in full control of all of my visuals. I knew I’d one day get to tell stories and showcase them for others. It’s important for me to speak about the things we often shy away from saying. This is why my creative passion has expanded to screenwriting and directing. I want to get deeper into issues and have those issues resonate with others that may be facing similar circumstances. This project (among many others) is a creative expression and it feels like home when I can tell other how I feel in a visual way. I would like to film this project here in Atlanta. I want to work with the best production team. The beginners, the experts, and everything in between. I have connected with students, established production teams, and talent that has a passion for the arts. This short in particular is about the challenges we face of not moving on and into the future of our fears. It’s about what happens in our mind and how we often times hold ourselves back and one day we look up and realize how much time has passed. I plan on shooting this project by spring and taking the time I need to accurately shoot and edit this project as many times as needed to get this ready for the major film festivals. I’m looking to be a part of Cannes, SXSW, and of course Sundance. I will submit for every festival, but my sights are high for this short film. O’ hoping the people who support me can stay on for the other films I have written and plan to shoot. I have to build a family in set of creatives and passionate storytellers alike. In the past, I was always able to find my own ventures for music and music videos. Films are a bit more meticulous with other moving parts. There’s not just locations, but an entire filing crew as well as talent and permits. There’s props, and wardrobe that films require that music videos do not. I have never gotten financial assistance for any of my previous works (still shocked about that) but this time I have to make an exception. I want great quality production and the ease of funding being covered without having to worry about financial reasons stopping me from my creative endeavors. Supporting me in this journey is supporting everyone on this team that’s on this journey as well. Being able to support a creative can’t be quantified by the same measures as a business. Supporting a project like this is supporting an idea and bringing it to life. It is supporting the long day that you just got off work from and now you turn on Netflix to see a creative idea that turned into a finished product. Supporting this project is supporting all the reasons why storytelling exists. I don’t need to use Chat GPT to write reasons why you should support and what the outcome may be. I’m a sincere filmmaker that wants to reach audiences everywhere and touch other people’s lives. My words come from my heart. I’m a creative writer after all, and if you support humans helping humans, then you support more than an idea. You support passion for others’ passion
