I write poetry and novels, I paint oil and watercolor, but my true love is screenwriting. It is my dream, and I believe my purpose to write and direct films that will convey human emotion and experience in the most accurate manner possible. I plan to go to film school for college, and later, julliard’s playwriting graduate program.
Where do you find inspiration?I have had many diverse experiences and connections with many different people and places in my life. I draw inspiration mainly from my personal negative experiences, putting them to good use, and proving that, as I often say, “there are no true negative emotions, only useless ones.”
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the money to direct a student film allegory of Dante allighieri’s the divine comedy. The first volume, often referred to as “Dante’s inferno” is, in my opinion, one of the most influential and well-written texts of all time. I have a research process and screenplay already in progress, and hope to complete the film in time for a thesis project.
