In the beginning, Spork was meant to be just a short that I intended on making myself. Though once I finished the short, it didn't feel as though I got my point across. I fell in love with the whole world of Spork and pushed on to make a feature-length film script. I think the real appeal to me as a storyteller with Spork is that it's a film of a misfit child who doesn't have a whole lot to say throughout her life yet carries this broad imagination inside her world.

Music has always been a huge factor in my life. Especially '80s and '90s hip-hop. Albeit I was born pretty much in the '80s, I still was a B-Boy in Miami, thus my strong connection to that scene and music. With Spork I made sure to find a way to combine the story with a distinct sound so it's not just a narrative but a sonic experience as well. That and the whole world of Spork has at least in some form existed in my life, e.g. my dog is named Buster and actually DOES have a blue tail and ears (though he's still with us and not stuffed); I actually myself was in a big break-dance contest as a kid and was terrified; I've always, even as a child, been obsessed with 3-D visuals. So Spork is very close to my heart on a personal level as well. In the end, my goal is to give people a sideways view of an outsider who lives in a world that is a bit left of center and finds her way to the finish line only to see the prize is simply loving herself and all that comes with it. If anything, this is the point I'd hope all who take a look at Spork leave with.

Love yourself and keep your world as crazy, off the charts, and as odd as you want... just be you. You're beautiful.
