Our project, “Immigrant,” seeks to clarify the American experience, not dilute it in falsehoods and rumor. This epic short film speaks to and for the voiceless and the marginalized. A thoughtful and entertaining short, to be shot on multiple locations, “Immigrant” moves through the last 180 years of this country. Our story focuses on the lives of two people, separate in culture but bound together in survival, sharing and weaving their own stories into the fabric of the American Pageant.
From a brief meeting with Rod Serling at the Sherman Oaks Experimental College to my work with Tony Randall as an assistant at National Theatre Guild West, my path in the visual and performing arts was laid out for me at an early age. My background includes having produced a successful Off-Broadway show as well as working on the film sets of Christopher Nolan, Francis Lawrence, and Ben Affleck. These experiences and my profound love of film instill in me a tenacious work ethic. As a first-time director, my commitment is to this production, its company of players, and what I like to call a return to the originals and those undeniably uncomfortable truths.
