I love shooting film. The development process is meditative allowing me space to slowdown, it allows me to be more intentional when I shoot digital.

What would you do with $25,000?I would invest it in the two things that drive everything I do. $15,000 would go directly to Project Protocol, the nonprofit I founded to support people navigating reentry through community-driven technology. The remaining $10,000 would go toward the gear I need to carry me through film school.
