I'm a 18 year old Miami actor,writer,promoter, and film director who at an early age demonstrated interest and talent in music, dance and photography. I started in the American Black Film Festival Cine Lab workshop ,which offered me the opportunity to experience the many aspects of working in the film industry. At age 12 I wrote and was the camera director of two short films. I have worked side by side with film director Steve Drayton Sr on the movie "White Boys" and "Misunderstood". And film director Robert Townsend on the movie" Playin For Love ". At age 14 I won the American Black Film Festival Short Film competition for "The Gift".
