A smile can stir a whole Universe, and its value can never be underestimated. Even if it takes the fury to get there. By example you taught me that faith in self is just as important as faith in others. That sometimes to find your way, you’ll have to brave the tempests of the Heart….

Lovecraft Magic Drift
What started off as a search for the right words to describe these tectonic states, evolved into a 3am dance, to music I didn’t hear, but felt. Be chill, my molten Heart. LOVECRAFT MAGIC DRIFT There’s a kind of magic that lingers where the Sand, Ocean and the Sun’s fingertips meet. On that holy property…
Grasp
GRASP There is a vastness in self-reflection. The ground saturated with doubt, The air, rife with the weight of worries, past and future And above, the sky painted as a collage of could’ve, should’ve and would haves… But for those who remain steadfast A well-spring of Hope nurtures an Oasis. And luckier still, are those…
Seven Years
Cliché incoming: I can remember still remember it like it was yesterday… With Yes, We’re Open completing its screening run at the 2012 Hawai’i International Film Festival I’m flooded with emotions that have arrived from the joyful realization that everything I’ve been doing has helped me move forward as an artist. I learned an important thing….
Something is missing
With my 29th birthday a week behind me, I’ve had a moment to soak in all of the things I’ve been grateful for- loyal friends, successful projects, a roof over my head, parents who still nag me about future plans (yes, I’m even grateful for that), and certainly not lacking in importance, a growing friendship…
29
In the short time that I’ve been around, no sensation has been more euphoric than that of following my heart. A feeling that every step in any direction matters, so long as it’s guided by the subtle precision of curiosity. In the short time that I’ve been around, no inspiration has come close to the…
Against Which, a quick look at rehearsal
…this time, from the director’s point of view. As you might recall (or not), I’m also acting in a piece which will be presented in the same event! I’m finding the shifting of mental gears quite the experience; Fun, so far, but challenging… Let’s rewind just a second —JUST LIKE THAT is short film I’m…
Swept
Responsibility. Obligation. Duty. Habit. Privilege. Service. Cuddle. Challenge. All those words describe how I feel an artist should maintain their relationship with the World around them, and the emotions it elicits from them; Good or bad, everything must be taken in and allowed to transform the artist, permanently, or otherwise. One of the most <insert your…
Somewhere in between
Somewhere in between the second bite of my last madeline and the third sip of my grande iced white mocha the thought of her webs its way through my conscious. A Her. Yes, a woman. One that seems to be adept at infiltrating my attention, and welcomely so. Just a pulse at first, glimpses of her,…
Just like that
Subtext: “You can’t do that, you don’t know how…” And just like that, I’m spurned into action. It felt like a throw down, a challenge that needed to be met. It felt like an invitation to compete, and I couldn’t turn it down. I’m talking about why I’ve embarked on directing a short film I…
That’s a novel idea
It’s been a while since I’ve written anything close to resembling a narrative novel. But I’m in the process of developing this short movie idea I’ve had poking around in my mind and I thought I’d approach it by first, writing a short story then adapting it for screen… Here’s a short sample: “YOUR SHIPMENT…
