About me
I'm a filmmaker based out of NY. My directorial feature debut, Driftwood was awarded the Grand Jury Prize for narrative feature at the 2016 Slamdance Film Festival. Variety described it as a “beguiling feature debut”, Hammer to Nail quoted it as a “riveting cinematic experience”, and Indiewire considered it one of five great films from Slamdance 2016. It is currently streaming on Amazon Prime.My follow up short film, Succulent screened at the 2018 Sidewalk Film Festival in Birmingham, AL and was part of Spectacle Theater’s “Hidden Visions” series. A writer at Film Threat considered it “…one of the strangest films I’ve seen in a long time.”
Kiddo, my newest short, premiered at the 2022 Sarasota Film Festival and at the Tallgrass Film Festival it was presented with the award for "Outstanding Screenplay".
In addition to writing and directing I am an Emmy-nominated video editor with 10+ years of experience working in a breaking news / longform environment.
