Trey is the co-creator, co-producer, co-writer, and co-lead role of a new web series, "I'm Fine" (@imfinewebseries) as well as an actor and free-lance producer in NYC. We discussed the importance of creating things for yourself, having creative control, and of course, the web series. "I'm Fine" is a story of a brother and sister navigating the comedic and often difficult side of growing up, adulthood, and responsibilities. The series explores that while saying things are fine may not be totally wrong, is it honest enough?
