Director's Statement

As my first feature film, I see Destination Unknown as a testament of my potential in future film endeavors. Through a both strenuous and exciting production, it’s the collaboration involved in this movie that truly made it special. With nothing but a few thousand dollars, the cast, crew, and I all pulled our weight to deliver what seemed an impossibility, but with enough passion, determination, and a love for all things film, we were able to accomplish a fun, epic noir that truly sparks at the core this same reason we love cinema. Helping to write it at 19, shooting it at 20, and finishing the edit at 21 years old, this film embodies a crucial time in my life that will never be forgotten. Please enjoy… Destination Unknown!
