Intro

I am a strong advocate and supporter of diverse stories represented in media and think this community Film In Colour is a great idea. I am currently working on defining my voice as a filmmaker, and am currently working on several projects including a web-series titled Greater which takes place in the GTA of Toronto as well as a feature film based on a book adaptation called Places Up Here. I am also always working on new ideas for commercials and branded content.
