Q: Why did you become a filmmaker?
JL: I love telling stories. As a kid I use to write books and envision them as movies. After realizing the power of visual storytelling, I was determined to make it my career . As a filmmaker I love telling stories that challenge the audience and provoke conversation. I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.
