About Me
I am an aspiring filmmaker and have been for quite a while. I am a current student at SCAD ATL studying Film and Television as my major. In my spare time I like to write and occasionally animate, a hobby which I recently picked back up. I hope to become a director, producer, or a writer for films. Hopefully I can become all three!
Films and TV shows that inspire me...
The Avengers (2012)
The Avengers is what kicked off my interest in filmmaking. I watched that movie and I loved it. I wanted to make other people feel the way I did when I saw it.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is my current favorite movie of all time. It inspires me with its style, humor, emotional moments, and so much more. I can't recommend this movie enough. It is my absolute favorite movie.
Jurassic Park (1993)
Do I even need to explain why this movie inspires me? Jurassic Park is one of my favorite movies. It is everything you'd want from a blockbuster movie. Go watch it if you somehow haven't seen it.
BoJack Horseman (2014-2019)
BoJack Horseman is a show that I only started watching in 2022, years after its series finale, but it became my favorite TV show. It helped me look at myself and it also made me laugh.
Thor: Ragnarok (2017)
Thor: Ragnarok is a movie that captures a tone that I would love to capture in my own films. This movie perfectly balances humor and serious emotional moments, in my opinion. I also just really like it.
Star Wars (1977)
Star Wars is really cool because not only is it a great start to one of the biggest franchises of all time, but it is also a really solid movie that stands on its own. I love how campy and fun it is, it really makes my imagination wander.
The Good Place (2016-2020)
The Good Place is one of my favorite sitcoms, and I like a lot of sitcoms. This show shaped me a lot. I would say things like "Holy mother-forking shirt-balls" all the time after seeing it. The show is hilarious and smart and the finale basically made me cry.

Invincible
Invincible is one of my favorite animated shows. It does what a lot of adult animated shows doesn't do, and that is not be a sitcom. It's a great superhero show. It feels both like a parody of superheroes while also being a genuinely good superhero story. It takes itself seriously when it needs to. I would like to make something similar to it some day.
The Mitchells vs The Machines
The Mitchells vs The Machines is a movie that really spoke to me. I knew that since Phil Lord and Chris Miller were working on it that I would like it, but I loved it. I liked it almost as much as Into the Spider-Verse. The story of a film kid going to a film school to find her people spoke to me. The movie is also really funny and the emotional moments hit hard.
