"I have learned from the Skokomish people that none of
us are able to succeed alone. Filmmaking is new to me so I surround
myself with humble experts of high integrity that have the ability
and strength to share their knowledge. When I give back to the
community it is my way of saying "thank you" to everyone
who has mentored me and believed in me."
