artist statement

Above all things I am a story teller. Using film and video I write and produce narrative works that deal with the human mind and our understanding of self and each other. Drawing on theatrical methodologies such as theatre of the absurd or Bertolt Brecht's "Epic Theatre," I create stories that are highly relatable yet somewhat alien in order to produce work that an audience can grasp but unusual enough to spark discussion. I create my work in a highly collaborative environment, developing ideas and constructing my pieces though discussions with fellow artists and crew members. Through my work I try to diminish the ideas of a sole auteur and support the working methods of the theatre where everyone involved is working to create something bigger than themselves.
