Filmmaker Statement

Vinny's Girl is just scratching the surface on a specific stylized type of film and character acting that I want to push farther in my filmmaking. I have a passion for comedy, and thrillers, specifically coming of age films, and crossing genres. Vinny's Girl sparked inspiration from me to take the synthwave genre of music and take the visual aesthetic of the music into the film. I had an incredible team and the perfect cast to help put that vision together. Zachary and I have been trying to create this film for two years, on set we we're overwhelmed and we cried tears of joy when we wrapped. I think we both knew we had something special with Vinny's Girl whether this film has any success, it has a special place in my heart and has helped me to grow as a director, producer, actor, and showed me a process of filmmaking I never knew possible. Set in a dystopian, alternate era, this film has taken me, and opened me up to a clear path of the world and genre of films I want to keep creating.
