In my free time, I enjoy creating my own short observational documentaries, which have been featured at festivals throughout Canada, the UK, and the United States. I'm really proud of them. At a fundamental level, I believe that we all have important stories to share, and I am drawn to individuals who exhibit kindness, often being overlooked; my goal is to share their world with you.
If you have some free time, please take a look.
Days in the Quarter
Documentary Short, 2016
Once a thriving sawmill community, Vredenburgh, Alabama is now fading into non-existence, along with its residents.

Days in the Quarter explores the lives of these residents.

At the end of an old logging road in rural, Alabama, Billy Dees still runs his cash and carry convenience store. The only customers that still drop in are the rare hunter every few days. He spends his time wandering the fields, and sitting on his porch as he ponders life and death.
