Humor and fear are similar; both are triggered by the unknown. A good punch-line has that clever and unexpected twist; horror is the realization of an uncontrolled, unforeseen outcome. I like to dance between these two words, to lead the viewer's mind down a mysterious path. This is fertile ground for a story to be told. Each picture is a stage with sub-plots woven into a powerful narrative. Impassioned characters wrapped and writhing, trapped in their moment, pursuing, desperate, teasing.
