THE SEEKER TRAILER (Co/Producer/Writer/DP/Editor)

I believe that directing is a joyful exercise in stewardship.  It’s a process of shepherding creative, collaborative folks towards the goal of  producing the highest quailty product possible.  To earnestly seek to discover the truth of the story regardless of concept, scope or scale.  And to dignify folks by setting a clear vision that creates space and confidence for everyone involved to contribute their best efforts.
