a statement

My medium of expression, or art of choice, is film (or video) and initially I chose to pursue this medium simply because I felt more comfortable in it than other artistic avenues such as theatre or music. Ultimately, I would love to be able to film a script that brought a sense of unity to a group of people or gave people a new way of looking at an important issue that perhaps they hadn’t considered. However, at least presently, I am more concerned with just trying to figure how to use the tools of film and video (and screenwriting) to express my ideas than extensively contemplating how my work will be perceived. Once I have a better handle on the medium, I hope to enlighten people or at least (or at most, actually) make them laugh.
