"Let's Go Below The Rainbow" is his second filmmaking expedition on a microbudget. The film was inspired by the storyteller's quest in delving deeper into the conversation of the intersection of sexual orientation, religiosity, and societal reactions as well as highlighting a few under-catered yet pressing social issues.
