YOUNG MEN'S VOICES HAVE POWER

Editor, Co-Writer

Y.M.V.P. chronicles the lived experience of four young men growing up in the toughest neighborhoods in New Orleans.

Entrusted with 50 hours of their footage and the directive to make a feature, I was rewarded with the most challenging and gratifying projects to date.
