I love to create art because it is truly the only thing that makes me feel like a kid again. That youthful joy is displayed when I create.

I love to make sketch comedy and to create strange and bizarre characters that have not been seen yet. I also love to just act in general. I have been doing many different indie projects for the past few months now and it has been a real dream come true. I want to be able to show my range on the big screen. I think that it is only a matter of time before independent films start to rule the industry and I cannot wait to be apart of that!
Where do you find inspiration?I find my inspiration from watching older films that came before my time. I love to see how other actors would craft the characters that became so iconic. It really inspires me when I see an actor really push themselves and it is evident on screen. I hope that the characters I craft will be as iconic and will inspire other artists to do the same.
What would you do with $25,000?If I won the 25,000$ I would put all of it into the feature film that my buddy is directing later this year. We did a big budget short film last year as well as a Facebook ad and it really showed both of our talents. I would want the film to do well and for it to push an original idea in the corporate world of film. I want to push a creative narrative that would inspire a generation of artists and would put independent filmmaking back on the market!
