Director's Statement

My cinematic truth behind the camera is driven by my own profound curiosity for authentic storytelling across diverse genres. Comedy, drama, sci-fi, you name it - I love it. As a filmmaker, director, writer, producer, and actress, my vision is rooted in crafting narratives that resonate, provoke, and ultimately entertain the masses. Knowing in front of the lens, how to receive an authentic performance, due to my extensive training as a director, has allowed me to communicate on set with my actors in meaningful ways for truthful storytelling.  - Lillee Jean Trueman
