I met Billy many years ago on a turbulent film shoot at the Cape Fear river in North Carolina. Billy had the agility of a young dog and his energy was contagious. We quickly connected and became friends. During the next months details of his past slowly unravelled, each adding a new pixel to the image I was forming in my head. Billy doesn’t stand still. With a steady thrust he maneuvers the ocean of life. It’s hard to say where the push is coming from, but it seems to charge from an positive energy that sits deep within. It is this energy that represents a desirerable attitude towards life. Billy has won 2 Young Director Awards in Cannes this year.
