Director's Statement
At 55 years old, I achieved my lifelong dream of becoming a film director, working alongside an extraordinary cast and crew that surpassed all my expectations. I was deeply honored to direct “The Red Market,” and for the rest of my life, I aspire to continue directing, writing, and acting in feature films. “The Red Market” is a student project from Brian Cutler Actors Studio in Burbank, California. It includes some of the finest cast and crew anywhere. Students from Dodge College of Film and Media Arts – Chapman University served on the crew and to all who helped, I am very grateful.
