Synopsis: A son tries to reconcile with his mother in an unexpected reunion.

Blondie is the first script I ever wrote. You shouldn’t always make the first thing you write, but as I continued my study of filmmaking and directing, I kept coming back to this story. It’s a subtle, gentle, and personal snapshot between a child and their parent. Even if they can never come together, sometimes you still choose to be together. To choose each other.

Coming soon to digital viewing near you!

Synopsis: At the local talent show, Tina really wants to push the golden buzzer.

The Talent is a 60-second short that highlights my comedic prowess. This was the final project for the inaugural filmmaking internship with All is Well and Fujifilm, and challenged me to tell a story and make it come to life with only two weeks (turned to one week) of pre-production. It’s a guaranteed laugh!  

Premiered at Local Sightings Film Festival 2022.
