This being my second short film, I went into the process knowing a lot more about how to use my resources to film in a manner that could be shot and edited efficiently and effectively. I wanted to create something short and simple that I could finish in a reasonable time in order to take a break from my longer film project which I was getting bored of editing.

My drive to write poetry comes and goes in waves.

I heard this song originally while slowly working my way through the expansive and immaculate portfolio of Stephen Sondheim.

This piece is part of a series of short pieces for piano and a vocal quartet based on Carl Sandburg poems.

I wrote this piece originally for a musical revue I produced and staged independently in July of 2022 called "Stitch by Stitch" with a cast of nine amazing actors.
