This past year I shot, produced, directed and am now currently editing my first documentary film, NINE WEEKS ‘TIL 9/11. This film is a social commentary about being 10 years removed from the most significant day in our countries history since Pearl Harbor. With over thirty interviews conducted in nine weeks many themes emerged thanks to my interview subjects. From memories of that fateful day, to positive movements in response to the tragedy, to where we are as a city and country 10 years later Nine Weeks ‘Til 9/11 serves as a voice for many Americans that have not yet been heard.
