Artist's Statement

I am not an “artist”. I feel the word “artist” pretentious and overused. I like to think of myself as an entertainer. My goal is to be a big Hollywood filmmaker, but I’d be satisfied being a television producer. I would like to entertain the masses- and myself- while still maintaining my political side. Let me say that I am not a Republican or Democrat, so I don’t plan to be preachy. I would like to make narratives with subliminal inspiring messages, much like one of my favorite movies, Babe, which inspired vegetarianism as cute children’s flick. The most political part of my films would be the fact that I am a woman. There aren’t as many women directors as there should be, and with more of  us in the chair we can give female and male audiences something to watch with a different point of view. As a heterosexual woman, I find beauty in men that the media usually associates with women. I see men as one of the most beautiful things in nature. Nature- in all of it’s biggest, most powerful. most colorful, beauty- is a huge part of my creative expression.
