Summary
Originally from the smallest of small-town Mississippi, I’m a filmmaker/producer based in Los Angeles. My work centers on the experiences of impoverished communities, exploring themes of social alienation and generational trauma, with a strong focus on uplifting underrepresented voices.
Coming from a place where dreams are taught to be out of reach, through my work I aim to highlight resilience and give a voice to those whose stories are overlooked.
