"This is my first official and completely original work that I no longer consider a student project or piece of test footage, but hopefully rather, a contribution to cinema. Dead Falls is a culmination of nearly 10 years of practice before finally attempting something worth releasing. My hope is to continue in this way forward, creating more and more original short films. I have absolutely no message or agenda, save that I hope to captivate and delight any audience I'm lucky enough to acquire."
