Like a human rights lawyer who uses the law to rectify wrongs, I use filmic storytelling for the same effect.

I'm both an artist / filmmaker and a human rights defender.

Celebrate your victories and mark your defeats. Ultimately documentary filmmaking is not a job, it's a calling.

Destiny doesn't control your life, but it does place you on a path. It's how you walk down that path that determines stories I tell.

I'm a storyteller who uses all of the beauty and power of cinema to tell tales of human struggles for positive social change.

Everyone has access to a pen and paper, but to be a great writer is difficult.

My advice to emerging documentary filmmakers would be: try to find other people, a group, a cooperative that you can work with. Filmmaking is hard and lonely and decidedly unglamorous. Find like-minded souls and share the joy and the misery.
