Sometimes I work on a project that’s is so humbling it puts everything into perspective. As a director and filmmaker, people trust me with their stories and I can only hope to live up to their generosity. Please meet James, a long-term HIV patient and community leader.

Many of you already know that I’ve been working in production since the wee age of 19, but some of you may not know that I’ve been a DJ for almost the the same amount of time! I went from Pride Festivals and Night Clubs to flying all over the country to DJ raves at the tender age of 45. As you can imagine, I have got some STORIES from over the years. I touched on a few of them on my YouTube Channel “The Rice Cooker” DJ interview and performance show, but I wanted to share some bits from my interview about how being a DJ intersects all areas of my life, from culture to identity and filmmaking.
