Eighteen years old, I moved to Paris, France to study film. What I took from that? Pragmatism - never be afraid to ask for help - most fronts are illusions, as good as they might look - there's a lot to do, to see, watch and read, definitely look for and learn from that - if you smile, you're not a Parisian, so be aware of your surroundings. I was asked several times if I saw the Eiffel Tower everyday. Even though I actually did for two seconds on the bus on my way home from school, I realized I had become disenchanted. Paris wasn't magical anymore. Ever since then, my mission is to actively look at the world with wonderment and a conscious naïveté. 

​

Twenty two years old, I moved to Los Angeles, California to specialize in film directing. What I'm taking from that? Saying yes will get you more places than saying no - be open, be receptive, never judge or dismiss - "can do" attitude is the best attitude - travel more - collaborate and learn from others - if you smile and mean it, you're going in the right path. Ask me about my elevator pitch. That's the only reason why one moves to LA anyway right?

​

So why have I been told I'd make a great doctor?

Probably because that might sound more respectable and serious than being an "artist". 

I'll probably tell you that I don't save lives but I strive to enrich them, or if nothing else, entertain them.

Because, essentially, art is thinking. And cogito ergo sum. There you go.
