A young man, thrust into darkness by the storm of his life, must overcome the darkness. However, despite his best efforts he fails and is overtaken.

 

Storm was my very first foray into creating a film. I was challenged to make a film without dialogue. I chose to write about a very dark time in my own life when I battled an almost crippling depression. I felt cut off from the rest of the world and felt like the smallest and irrelevant things could help. I was irrational and short with everyone around me. I am blessed to have so many friends who were understanding of my struggle. I probably owe my biggest thanks to Daniela. I might not be here if it wasn’t for her. Suffice to say that the true story varies from the film version and does have a happy ending.

To anyone else who is silently suffering, you are not alone. Reach out. Someone will reach back.
