My short film, JOURNAL OF A DREAMER, is about a teenager in a constant battle with negative thoughts and anxiety as he struggles to express himself as a writer and share his story with the outside world. My filmmaking approach was to capture a quiet and moody tone to represent the internal emotional process of a writer alone with himself and his thoughts while he tries to find the words. JOURNAL OF A DREAMER reflects my own experience whenever I sit down to write. I catch my mind trying to take over my creativity and flow. I fight against any doubts and fear and tell myself over and over again that I have something to say and that I have to dream on.

TETHERED features a young man named Leonard who loses sight of the value of his friendship with an old pal. He must decide whether to continue in his dead-end job or spend more time with his friend. When Leonard decides to quit his job, he takes a stand in his own life. Tethered reflects my own experience of having to find the balance between my schoolwork and extracurricular activities while maintaining my relationships with my friends, who mean everything to me.
