Los Angeles

I&#8217;m so far out that they call me Mars.
I&#8217;m just a hard working kid from Santa Ana looking to express myself through film. I love creating characters and telling their stories. I think happiness is a sad song. Yeah, I can be a bit emo at times. I hate High Fructose Corn Syrup; it&#8217;s bad for you. I can get political, and I&#8217;m very passionate on my convictions. I need to travel a few times a year to keep my head cool, and I don&#8217;t look back much as a rule.
