Theatre is filled w passion, risk and drama (as much behind-the-curtain as on stage), perfect ingredients for documentary storytelling.
When I'm able to bring together the two worlds that I love so much - film and TV - is a documentary feature, it's nirvana!
Growing up in Los Angeles, I was incredibly fortunate to be taken to theatre by my parents to see everything at the Music Center, at UCLA and beyond. I just adored it.
Like theatre, crafting a documentary film takes tremendous commitment, patience and passion.
When you decide to make a film, it's imperative that it's a story you just have to tell. . . no matter what. If so, then dive in. It won't be 'work'. . . it will be a thrilling, deeply satisfying experience.
I have an incredible team of collaborators that work with me on all my films. I adore them and respect them tremendously. I can't wait to begin production on my next film so we can be reunited.
