Filmmaker Statement

In the realm of storytelling, I find my truest purpose and expression as a Filmmaker. Since I was a young boy growing up on the south side of Chicago, I've always fantasized of embarking upon journeys into the heart of human experiences searching for the threads that connect us all. My background as an actor has bestowed upon me a unique insight into the essence of characters and narratives. "Lucille," my directorial debut under Triome Productions, Inc., embodies the essence of this vision. It's a story of love, loss, and the resilience of the human spirit, brought to life by a remarkable cast that includes the incomparable Loretta Devine and Frankie Faison. The film is a testament to my belief that every frame should resonate with emotional truth, allowing the characters' journeys to mirror our own, fostering a sense of connection that transcends the screen. In the end, my goal as a director is to craft narratives that linger in the minds of audiences, sparking conversations and fostering a deeper understanding of the human journey. Through my lens, I endeavor to illuminate the beauty and complexity of our shared existence, inviting viewers to find a piece of themselves in every story I tell.
