1. How did you get into the industry?
I got into the industry by starting with Toe Tag Pictures. I began as an artist, set design, props, painting etc.. I did a little acting and extra work for them, and it just took off from there. I am now and have been doing makeup, SFX for over 11 years. It progressed to me doing many acting roles for various production companies, along with makeup, and now I direct, write, storyboard, produce and edit my own films under my company name Silence In The Dead of Light.
2. What Scream Queen inspired you most?
The Scream Queen that inspired me was Asia Argento. Not only is her father a favorite of mine, but she is just amazing!
3. What are the next couple projects you are working on?
I am now working with a new production company called Dark Demon Films doing promotion, acting, makeup, SFX and much more. I am also in the process of writing my next short for Jabb Pictures The Collective Vol 7. I have many projects in the works as usual, and keep very busy helping with odd and end local filmmakers.
