<p>My love for the arts started at a young age - whether I was dancing, playing the piano, or drawing pictures of horses and selling them to my parents for 10 cents each.</p> <p><br />Before the age of ten, life threw my family a curve ball and I left my California home for the blue seas and radiant sunshine of the Mediterranean, followed by school in the U.K. This new beginning gave me the opportunity to travel, to experience life in a new culture, and to find friendships that have become the strong ground I walk on. All the while my hunger for creativity never abating.</p> <p><br />Disappearing into the dream of a film had always been a favorite pastime of mine as a child. However, the desire to turn this treasured pastime into a career was born on the set of Harry Potter & The Order of the Phoenix, where I briefly experienced life as a crew member in the studio at which J.K. Rowling's story was coming to life right before your eyes. There was no turning around after that. I was officially, as they say, hooked. </p> <p> </p> <p>I love to create films from various aspects (writing, producing, and acting), but it is the art of breathing life into written characters that has won me over. I am fueled by the desire to create an experience that will move you.. that will open your heart.. inspire your mind.. possibly make you laugh.. or make you remember.. It is what I ask of any film I have ever watched...</p> <p> </p> <p>I currently split my time between California and Europe, always exploring opportunities to be creative, and "Persephone" is thus far my bravest and most exciting endeavor.. and I can't wait...</p>
