What is your favorite type of art to create?

I consider myself an artist of many disciplines. in truth, My favorite art form is storytelling but I get to exercise that in many ways. To chose my favorite medium of doing that, I would say filmmaking is my favorite!

Where do you find inspiration?

My inspiration comes from the world around med me. Specifically the way light moves through spaces. That usually captures me.

What would you do with $25,000?

I woud tear off the the ceilings I have over me and allow myself to create unfettered. Purchasing equipment, paying talent, renting spaces --all keep me at the bounds I'm in now.
