Director Statement

“A Bellevue Love Story” is based on experiences from my past that informed and altered the trajectory of my life in immeasurable ways. It sparked a dialogue within myself about love, hope, despair and how the mentally ill must attempt to navigate it all.

It is my hope that this unprecedented love story will not only entertain and inspire, but also play a small role in continuing another ongoing dialogue…how we treat the mentally ill in this country.
