FILM
In my youth, I aspired to be a writer and nothing else. It seemed the most surefire way to bring my imagined stories to fruition without compromise. But once I began experimenting with video, there was no putting the genie back in the bottle. I came to love the inherent challenges of film just as much as the boundlessness of a blank page. For me, making a film can often feel like writing and solving a riddle simultaneously… It’s an exhilarating craft, and I learn a great deal with each new project.
Regardless of aesthetic, genre, runtime, or budget, I always strive for a compelling story with memorable characters above all else. I can’t wait for you to encounter some of these heroes, villains, and monsters as you immerse yourself in the worlds of KM Productions! You can find additional projects on YouTube.
