Filmmaker Statement

I worked at Bodega, the world famous sneaker shop, for three years, dealing with rabid sneakerheads and hustling menswear brands. After college, I thought about taking a chance and staying at the shop. But in such a creative space, I didn’t believe I had anything to say. So I took a safe job at an advertising agency. Mama Yu was proud. After a few years, I quit. And I started writing. Streetwear is supposed to be an expression of your most authentic self, mistakes included. Good Boy is a show about choices and expectations. It’s about holding up the mirror to yourself and living with what you see. It’s about falling on your ass and laughing along the way. It’s everything I’m scared to say. It’s the story I wish I had known.
