What/Who inspires your work?
The Dreamers, Mary-Louise Parker, and the occasional late night warm drink. And if I was a teenage Caucasian boy my life would be Rushmore, so Wes Anderson deserves a seat here.
How long have you been directing?
Well I had never directed anything before ‘Cracked World View’, but I’ve been editing and filming for a little over 2 years.

When did you decide you wanted to pursue directing, photography and music?
I wanted to be actor for as long as I could remembered, so I started to intern at a theatre and ended up buying a camera to make a short film about my experience, which never happened, but instead I started making experimental videos which flowered into music videos starring my boss.
What equipment do you use for filming and editing?
I use a Canon HV30 and Sony Vegas Platinum 8.0
Are you a student? If yes, what do you plan to accomplish by the time you’re done studying in your field?
I’m studying Business and Medical Coding at the moment, so my current goal is just to make it out alive.
At the end of “Cracked World View (Music Video)” (at 5:10) you have a Polaroid with the picture of a heart, and then you have an amazing idea (readers check out the video to know what I’m referencing). Was there anything in particular that inspired that moment?
Now’s the time I wish I had a great story to tell you, but I don’t; I was just listening to a lot of Death Cab for Cutie at the time, and Ben Gibbard has a million clever ways of making people crave love.
After checking your website (rocketscienceshorts.com), I recall seeing a post about “The Glorious Plight (Short Film)”. Can you give us any insight on what to expect?
An opaque heroine. Very much unapologetically flawed characters talking about love. To a certain degree ‘The Glorious Plight’ is a spoken battle, not in a antagonistic approach but both characters in the short want to obtain something from each other, the notion of a subtle tell-all of why the other lives life they way that they do. It’s not really plot driven.
Where can more of your work be found?
I upload mostly all of my videos to http://vimeo.com/notrocketscience
Anything else you would like to add?
Thanks! God Bless
