DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT

"

In 1976, photojournalist Stanely Forman captured a dramatic moment at a protest; The Soiling of Old Glory. I found the photo while researching the Pulitzer Prizes. See for yourself.

To a photojournalist the intention is truth. Unfiltered and unscripted.

Truth to a filmmaker is created. Mise en scene. Intention here is deliberate. Careful and unhurried. We’re encouraged to select an appropriate medium for the message.

My work is deliberate and unfiltered. I intend to be careful in my selection and unhurried by capitalism."
