Director Biography - Trevor Letourneau
My name is Trevor Letourneau and I am an aspiring filmmaker from Towson Maryland. I have been a freelance film/media worker for the past two years and I have had experience working on award winning films from the DMV area. During my final semester of college I was able to write and direct a film for my senior capstone class. I have always had a high interest in narrative filmmaking and it has been something I have done since I was a child.
Director Statement
I made the film "Ball is Life" to show the negative effects that performance enhancing drugs have on athletes in their careers. However, I put my own morbid twist on it. I feel this is something that is brushed off in professional sports so I was compelled to make an entertaining story about that topic. This is a subject that needs to be heard and my film captures that within its run time.
