For as long as I can remember, film has always been a part of me. I vividly remember my father taking me to see Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man", this was my first memory of going to the movie theater, and my mother showing me Classics at home. I didn't know it then, but I started to look at the world in a new way, a cinematic way. As I grew older, certain films reached out to me deeply, influencing my artistic eye. From "The Dark Knight", "Inception", "Skyfall", "Gravity", "The Revenant", "Arrival", and finally "Blade Runner 2049", which solidified my path of becoming a filmmaker. My whole life leading up to now, my parents along with brilliant filmmakers such as Christopher Nolan, Alejandro González Iñárritu, Alfonso Cuarón, Denis Villenueve and Roger Deakins have shaped me into who I am now, and who I become in the future. Film and I are inseparable, and is a passion I hold close to my heart, something I bring to every project I embark on.
