Tell us about your latest film, “Mama’s Song?

The film is about a son who has to pick up the pieces after a family crisis.

What is the message you want people to take away from the film?

Forgiveness. Sometimes good people do bad things for whatever reason. There is always a story and reason why someone is in a particular situation. A person’s heart can be good, but they are lost and hurting. I think we have to understand that we are all human. Anyone that is on the street, homeless, or dealing with substance abuse is someone’s child. We tend to dehumanize people. I hope when people watch “Mama’s Song” that they can see humanity.

What is your creative process for producing quality content?

There are several stages to my creative process including, ‘Preparation,’ ‘Incubation,’ ‘ Insight,’ ‘Evaluation,’ and ‘Elaboration.’ Ultimately, you have to do the work and find ways to execute each of these stages to produce a good story that connects with people.
