Claim To Fame:

2022 was the year I realized how deeply I was infatuated with film direction and cinematography. My transition from eighth to ninth grade was difficult. I often felt isolated, trying to find my place and acceptance among my peers. During that time, I found peace in movies, music, and storytelling. I spent weekends staying up late watching and studying my favorite films, asking myself, �How are people able to create such emotional and compelling stories?� Quentin Tarantino, James Gunn, Ryan Coogler, Michael B. Jordan, Jonah Hill, and Kendrick Lamar became major inspirations. I would spend hours talking to my father about them, pointing out the framing of a scene, the colors in a room, or how a film score could completely change an audience�s emotions. I wasn't just watching movies anymore; I was studying them. By senior year, I felt a spark inside me, an ambition to create something of my own. I began working as a graphic designer and videographer, marketing events at the Wilmington Public Library. I had the opportunity to capture Taye Diggs, Garrett Morris, LisaRaye McCoy, NeNe Leakes, and Kym Whitley. Although those experiences strengthened my resume, I knew I wanted more. I joined Middletown High School�s yearbook club, which gave me media access on the football field. My mother began letting me use her camera, and I got to work. That first football game became the beginning of my photography business, AG Visuals. As I grew my following, however, my hunger for storytelling remained. I wanted to make movies, music videos, and stories that could make people feel something. I often told myself, �I want to be like Ryan Coogler.� I believed that with enough dedication, I could become the filmmaker I imagined myself being. I eventually made the difficult decision to leave track and field after winning the state championship in indoor track. I could have continued competing, but I could no longer ignore the voice telling me to create something new. That decision led to my first short film, �February 14th,� about a boy spending Valentine�s Day alone. After receiving positive feedback, I had the opportunity to shoot a music video for Wilmington artist Zeeky El titled �They Don�t Know & Strange�r the Times.� I continue to write stories and develop concepts while perfecting my craft. In Fall 2026, I will attend Delaware State University, majoring in New Media in Arts and minoring in Marketing. I hope to expand my skills, build connections, and turn my ideas into meaningful work. My journey began with feeling isolated and searching for somewhere I belonged. I found that place in storytelling. One day, I hope to have a movie premiere in my name �Directed by Aidan Gross�.

Most Memorable Moment:

To soon be experienced.
