Storytelling is an act of curation. It’s the way in which one selectively reduces the infinite complexity of the cosmos into a series of moments that carry a residue or aftertaste of the ineffable.

Express your work in twelve or fewer words.
If they work can be expressed in words, why make it work?

Complete the following statement: If you look inside my bag or backpack, you will always find…
A tangle of cords.

What is your most memorable movie theater experience?
I saw a screening of The Little Mermaid before it was finished. Parts were still in black and white pencil drawings. We filled out questionnaires afterwards. I think my mom said the fish cooking scene was too scary. I still have a love for animated musicals.

What do you read first thing in the morning?
Lakers blogs.

OneFifty is a new incubator from Time Warner, home of Warner Bros., HBO, and Turner. We’re excited about discovering new kinds of storytelling and conceived OneFifty as a place where artists are encouraged to experiment and explore creative boundaries.
