About James...
From the moment my late grandfather introduced me to Raiders of the Lost Ark at the tender age of four, I was hooked on the cinematic experience. While movies are undoubtedly entertaining, I've always believed that the best ones go beyond the surface level of genre and hold up a mirror to challenge us all to examine our own faults and find our own basic dignity.
As a writer and director, my aim is to create thought-provoking, unconventional films that explore Christian themes and messages through the lens of cinema. I began making films with volunteers from my local church, and have since gone on to make award-winning short films like Open Hands and A Town Called Redemption.
Despite working with low budgets, I have experience collaborating with large crews and renowned cinematographers. In addition to my work in film, I've also dabbled in everything from poster design to prop making. But above all else, my passion for movies remains as strong as ever.
As a self-taught writer and director, I've always been inspired by the work of legendary filmmakers like Steven Spielberg, Sergio Leone, George Lucas, Rod Serling, and Alfred Hitchcock. Their storytelling styles have influenced my own approach to filmmaking, which is to create works that are thought-provoking, emotionally resonant, and visually stunning.
Currently, I'm working on an exciting new project called Through The Veil, an anthology web series that pays tribute to classic shows like The Twilight Zone. With each episode, viewers will be transported to a new world where anything is possible, from time travel to alternate dimensions to supernatural occurrences.
What sets my perspective apart from others in the industry is my ability to fuse Christian themes with innovative storytelling techniques. Through my work, I hope to challenge preconceived notions and encourage viewers to look at the world with fresh eyes.
Whether I'm designing posters or building props, my passion for movies remains as strong as ever. I'm always looking for new opportunities to collaborate with talented artists and bring my unique vision to life on the screen.
