What I'm looking for

I seek opportunities that allow me to explore innovative storytelling and collaborate with creative teams.

I am a passionate writer and director with a focus on creating compelling narratives that captivate audiences. My original sci-fi pilot won the Page International Screenwriting Award and was a finalist at the Austin Film Festival, showcasing my ability to craft engaging stories that resonate with viewers.

In addition to my award-winning work, I have developed various projects, including the satirical survival horror film 'Last Resort' and the supernatural horror 'Dark Entry.' My experience spans across multiple genres, including a slate of ten vertical horror shorts, each designed to deliver high-concept, suspense-driven narratives.

As a director, I have worked on notable projects such as 'Arrow' and 'Banshee: Origins,' collaborating with esteemed producers and showrunners. My commitment to storytelling and my experience in the industry make me a valuable asset to any creative team.
