About Me.
Starzzzfilms's goal is to visually capture stories in cinematography and to spread diversity and open mindedness. I focus on providing visual artwork that gives a voice and platform to vary the media that we consume daily as well as bring awareness to aspects of life that people do not normally consider. It is my goal to share raw emotions and the different ways of life through film. I am not scared to illustrate the world for how it is. From trash filled streets, wrinkles and scars, to crooked chipped-tooth smiles, I emphasize the expressive beauty in imperfection. I want to provide these services because I am striving to understand the human condition in all its depth. I want to professionally pursue both live action narrative and documentary films with large production companies and small creative teams alike. My highest goal is to connect with people, tell strong stories that make an impact, and provide insight into equality through my art.

Goals
