How did you get inspired to become a filmmaker?
This short film competition, Real Montana, inspired us to gather our talents and express our appreciation of Montana in 60 seconds. I’m excited to share my visual art in this first film. Thank you to The Audience Awards and Montana Office of Tourism for instigating!
What is your favorite part about the short film form?
You get a condensed, power-packed story in a tiny bit of time.
