Artist statement

I work as a writer, director, and producer, and in film, theater, and literature. Although I am involved in many different kinds of creative projects, in varying capacities, the common element that runs through all my work is an aspiration to tell stories that are both intellectually stimulating and emotionally engaging; stories that make us think as well as feel. My projects tend to play with elements of structure and form, and often have a unique tragicomic tone that juxtaposes the hilarious with the heartbreaking.
