I remember when I was twelve, and we lived in Virginia with my grandparents, my Dad spent most of my summer vacation from school working on a film for our family reunion. Every morning, he'd wake up, grab his laptop and go through dozens of pictures worthy enough to be scanned and put on the screen. I hated every second of it. Growing up in Atlanta - a land locked city - I wanted to go to the beach, fish, swim, and spend time with my cousins. But every minute was taken over by that damn movie. It took him weeks. I suppose that's my first real encounter with filmmaking. Did I ever think that it'd make such an impression on me that I would want to dedicate myself and any future summer vacation to it? No way!
             It's been a long journey to filmmaking. I'm an artist. I draw, sketch. I love the feel of graphite and charcoal and paper. I like dirty, smudged, charcoaled fingers. Everything about filmmaking is digital, making it my polar opposite. And yet, it completely enchants me. Like watching your thoughts come to life for all to finally witness. But don't doubt that its been an easy road; far from it. If anything, I'm a walking movie myself. In 2018, I attended the Savannah College of Art and Design, majoring in film and minoring in writing and illustration. The only constant I had were books... lots of them! I love books. When I slowly started to reemerge from the dark place, I started taking English Literature courses online. Reading was a great escape from reality. I could crawl in between the sentences on a page and sleep there. Books were a blessing. Even today, if someone asks me what makes a good filmmaker I'll tell them, an ability to recognize a great story; not just a good idea.
            Around the same time, feeling motivated and determined more than ever, I started at the Digital Film Academy, bridging two polar opposites into one art form. The art of artistic filmmaking is considered by many to be dead. To some, its morphed into independent narratives that swim on the outskirts of the entertainment industry. I feel like it's a combination of both. I think the newest filmmakers who strive to be unique and original must act to revive this genre that in many ways, propelled the film industry to where it is, before it conforms into what many films today become -- empty.  Challenge accepted!
            In response to this challenge, I started Bed Head Entertainment in the fall of 2020. If I can put even one film that shakes and shudders like my predecessors -- people I will forever look up to -- then I can rest easy. Times have been hard and because of that, I believe humanity needs to be reintroduced to the narrative, so the faith in it won't die.
