Inspiration

I met Michael Carnick at a screening of one of his films “Rolling Romance” and was fascinated by the film. After getting to know him better, I realized how important and valuable it would be to get Mike’s perspective on filmmaking and how he addresses loneliness and social isolation through the characters he creates.
