In my relatively short 20 years of life, I have always known that I would be a director and writer of films. By time I reached High School I began to work harder and harder towards making my goal a reality. I was so determined to turn my scripts into short films that I took on every role to get it done and make it happen. Even though being a young black kid in film can be isolating, I didn’t let it discourage me towards my goal. I did not mind being looked at as different from the other black kids in my High School. When I made my first short film, the only person everyone could compare me to was Spike Lee. I admire Spike Lee, but there are so many other directors that I also admire. Instead of being compared to any of the greats, I would like to one day make my own mark in the industry and be listed with the greats. I would like for young black kids to realize that it’s possible to break into a predominantly white genre and make your mark. I want them to be proud to be a film geek, I want them to watch my films and be able to relate to the stories I write about and the person that is writing them. This is what Ace Monkey Productions purpose is for me and what the ultimate goal of filmmaker should be too.

​My goal with Ace Monkey Productions, is to recruit and welcome young filmmakers like myself with similar work ethics from around the world and build a productive community. I’m lucky enough to have my own works space with the best equipment to dedicate to film making. I want to share my environment with those who have the same artistic passion for film, so that we can work together and create great films and content. I know there are so many young people, that need someone that can understand how their creative driven brains work. That’s why I welcome all that are willing to give their all, so we can help each other live our dreams of success.
