Varnie's passion for the art form of storytelling began with his love of Poetry, Spoken Word, and Comic Books in Elementary School. Which later evolved into writing and developing One Act Plays. His love of Cinema and Cinematic Visuals allowed him to collaborate on such projects like The Pilot for the Webseries “Shit Is Crazy” and his Short Film “Weight” which won The Staff Pick Award at The Black Cat Picture Show.

These relationships gave Varnie confidence to tell stories that examine the dynamics of individual identity, solitude, empathy, and people processing emotionally fraught relationships. This epitomizes the Films he aspires to make during his time here on Earth. Varnie is obsessed with the examination of bonding both inside and outside the context of Male and Female dynamics. And how those nuances are contextualized through familial ties, violence, trauma and death, themes that Varnie believes are often too restricted. In Varnie’s work we experience love, affection, and compassion for people. who are often fighting for a greater understanding and insight into their consciousness and identity.
