You have made your film "His Train of Thought" which got award in the
"American Golden Picture International Film Festival".
 As a filmmaker, why you decided to make it?

The idea for His Train of Thought came from a dream log I kept over the years, documenting vivid nightmares

I had experienced. I drew from those dreams for inspiration. They served as the foundation for the script,

allowing me to craft a story that delves into themes of memory, trauma, and distorted reality.

This personal connection to the material made the project deeply meaningful to me as a filmmaker.

What were some of the challenges you faced in making this specific film?

This is a project that would inevitably involve trains, and filming on them.

I knew going in this would serve as the biggest challenge. I started by emailing with the

transit authority here in New York. They denied my request for filming, along with telling me that

I would need to "rent out the station" and that would cost "$2 million". Although this was a major setback,

I was determined to proceed. I developed a detailed plan to ensure the production was entirely safe,

would not disrupt train operations, and adhered to a guerrilla-style filmmaking approach.

To minimize impact, we filmed during the early morning hours, typically between 2:00 and 3:00 AM,

when the stations were nearly empty.
Filming in one of the world’s busiest transit systems required careful coordination, resourcefulness,

and adaptability. It wasn’t easy to execute such a technically demanding production in a massive,

bustling subway environment, but through perseverance and creative problem-solving, we were able to pull it off.

This experience reinforced my belief in the importance of determination and ingenuity when faced

with seemingly insurmountable challenges. Which, to me, pretty much sums up being a director.

You have to be a military drill sergeant one moment and a caring mother the next.

Let us more about your experience in this film?

Since the film’s completion, I’ve been deeply moved by the response it has received.

People have reached out to me, sharing how George’s story resonated with their own experiences.

Some have related to George’s journey through loss, addiction, or estrangement from loved ones,

while others have found inspiration in the film’s underlying message of redemption and hope.

For me, His Train of Thought serves as more than just a narrative—it’s a reflection of the struggles many face

with mental health. The film has become a conversation starter, encouraging viewers to confront

their own challenges and recognize that change and healing are possible. Knowing that the story

has touched people on such a personal level is the most rewarding outcome I could have hoped for as a filmmaker.

The Cast and Crew member of your film supports the story in a very effective way.
What was it like to work with them?

The cast and crew brought a level of passion and professionalism that elevated every aspect of the film.

Jim Healey fully embraced the complexity of George’s character, delivering a performance that made the emotional weight of the story feel deeply authentic and resonant. We worked on a very small team, and everyone was willing to volunteer and help out with the technical aspects of the film. They all respected the vision and fought for it.
