Lost a part of my heart today. Can’t express how devastated I am to lose my best friend. He meant the world to me and I will love him forever. I’ll never forget you, Opie. Thank you for sharing 14 years of your life with me.
Spent my summer traveling Utah teaching filmmaking to teens in rural and indigenous parts of the state. This culminated into over 40 short films created by teens, telling their own stories.
I feel incredibly fortunate that my journey as an artist has led me to teach all that I have learned and experienced as an artist with kids who want to make cool stuff too. Youth voice is so incredibly important and encouraging kids to chase their dreams is the most fulfilling job I could ever have.
