I'm an aspiring student filmmaker at UCSC who pulls on experience and knowledge from my own acting career. I plan to continue working as a screen actor after completing my studies and to use that opportunity as a step toward learning the craft of filmmaking. I've been a fan of visual storytelling ever since I picked up a camera middle school and can't wait to tell my own stories with my own vision!
My work:
One Too Many
Creator: Dylan Burns
This film explores the ideas of loneliness versus "aloneliness," a set of principles that I dealt with a lot during the covid isolation period. During this time I lived in a house of 7 and felt a growing pressure around my own identity. I wanted to explore this sort of troubled masculinity through a story of addiction. And although this story's main problem revovles around alcoholism, the message is meant to spread far beyond just the pressures of one individual substance.
