As a black man, sometimes you can't tell if what you're seeing has underlying bigotry, or it's a normal conversation and you're being paranoid. That dynamic in itself is unsettling. I admit sometimes I see race and racism when its not there.
I think the majority of police are really good people and really good at their jobs, but that doesn't change the fact that with any interaction I have with them, I'm viewed as a potential threat.
I want to produce untapped voices, find people and help them get their platform.
You hear it said time and time again by successful directors: You have to make a movie for yourself. Don't make it for anyone else.
I define 'social thriller' as thriller/horror movies where the ultimate villain is society.
As far as writing and directing, I'm very focused on the thriller genre.
