- Each film I make has a special place in my heart. The one I'm working on is always at the top of my list.
- I did my first commercial for Coca Cola when I was 17. I grew up as a surfer and was on the beach in Southern California when some of the producers tapped me on the shoulder. The commercial was about a summer love story. Me and a girl walking on the pier, hand in hand on the beach, and swinging in a swing set. It was a great way to break into the industry.
- To me, story is king. I'm a filmmaker because I want to tell good stories. I love taking people on an emotional journey where they can laugh, cry and be entertained along the way.
- My film "Wayward: The Prodigal Son" is another story I was drawn to tell. Writing the screenplay was an amazing journey. I'm always working on screenplays and stories I'm inspired to bring to life. Writers should alway be writing. I've been writing 6 days a week for over 20 years now. The hard work continues to pay off. I'm driven to tell great stories and direct beautiful films.
