goals for the future
get paid to make cool stuff - live action, animation, or anything in between.
tell nuanced stories involving complicated women, the american dream, and/or paddington bear, not necessarily in that order.
bring a project to the toronto international film festival (kind of for the prestige but mostly for the instagram caption: tiff at TIFF)
