I never liked school growing up in Texas. Didn't go to film school. So, what you see comes out of me naturally. New feature film coming soon

What is your favorite type of art to create?

Film. Photography for sure. Also I'm a musician and love to collaborate with others to score the films I make. I can jam guitar, bass and a little bit of drums. But mainly punk and rock n roll style. My company Mayhem Film Kreations focuses on underground cinema, art, and music.

Where do you find inspiration?

Lately it's been hard to have a positive outlook due to all the horrible things going on in the world. But I try to stay positive and always still can get a good laugh when watching a John Waters film. I'd say Waters, Kubrick, and Scorsese are a few directors I get inspiration from. Each are very different, yes. I'd say also the frustration to help others in need and animal rights really drives me to dream big. Johnny Depp inspires me.

What would you do with $25,000?

I would definitely buy some new gear and put the rest in a strong marketing plan to focus my new film project I'm making in Barcelona at the moment. A psychological thriller called "Go Home." And of course I'd give a chunk to my family.
