      Writer and Director

      I wrote and directed a documentary called CRAZY HAPPY. It follows a group of people with mental health issues, such as depression and suicidal thoughts, that embark on a one hundred day project to find happiness. This grass roots project entailed each person to take on photograph a day for 100 days of something that made them happy. The results were amazing.The documentary was officially released in January 2017 and has been selected for four international film festivals since. It has sold in 5 different countries and won Best Writer of a Feature in March 2017. Show less
