<p>I am a writer and director at Drexel University. Stylistically I am indebted to Paul Thomas Anderson, Wong Kar Wai, and "4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days". I have made a fifteen minute documentary on organizations in Philadelphia that help homeless people as well as a ten-minute narrative fiction film about two lonely young men getting kicks and making meaning with drugs and philosophy and constructive creativity. I spent several years writing poetry, prose, and music, but this year I am focussing on my senior thesis film, as well as my studies. All of my work, I believe, embodies one single poetic statement; that is, simply put, that life is full of possibilities. This statement transcends pride and shame, wealth and misfortune, beauty and boredom. It is to my stories as the moon is to the ocean. </p>
