All types of cinema genres, subgenres, visual styles, and tones. Any kinds of film that can get rope you in emotionally is what I like! Always remember, movies are only moving pictures on a screen. It is up to the director and other members of the crew to breathe life in it.
Directors
Everyone from Spike Lee, Kevin Smith, John Singleton, Amy Heckerling, John Singleton, Cameron Crowe, Quentin Tarantino, and many others that can't be mentioned!
Awards
"Work It Out," my third music video is currently on rotation on BET (Black Entertainment Television). Check it out!
Professional Affiliations
I’ve worked with fantastic bands such as Tracy Shedd, and singers Rob Mercer and Troy Sneed.I’ve also done commercials for NEW YORK TIMES best selling author Brenda Jackson.
All sorts of films! Too many to mention! Here is the SHORT list:
Singles, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2, Do the Right Thing, Clueless, Look Who's Talking, The Passion of the Christ, Spiderman, Go, Trainspotting, Run Lola Run, Y Tu Mama Tambien, Como Agua para Chocolate, To Live, Moulin Rouge, Beauty and the Beat, Aladdin, The Muppet Movie, Election, Sex and the City, Toy Story, Boyz N' the Hood, Terminator, My Best Friend's Wedding...
I'll add more when I think of more.
Television
Unfortunately, I don't watch television often. If i do, HBO delivers some of the best television shows around! For example: Six Feet Under, Sex and the City, Oz, The Wire....
I also like their behind the scenes docs on how films are made....
Heroes
All filmmakers who had to work hard, against all types of seen and unforseen elements, to be able to cinematically tell a story. Independent filmmakers, especially.
Who I'd like to meet: There are a ton of directors and filmmakers I would love to meet. I hope in the future I'll be able to work with them on many cool, exciting projects.
