I directed my first feature, Summit, a horror film, in January 2013, right off the heels of graduating from college. It was a major learning experience that set me on my ambitious path as a director. Shortly after wrapping production on Summit, I directed the comedic web series Kelsey, which premiered on blip.tv in September 2013 and was named one of the 19 Best Comedy Web Series of 2013 by IndieWire. I was selected as one of the 10 to Watch Filmmakers in 2018 by Independent Magazine; and that same year, I was selected for the 8th annual Artist Academy of the 56th New York Film Festival. 2018 also began the festival run for my second feature, a comedy titled About A Donkey, which I directed in March 2017. Between my features, I directed nearly a dozen short films that screened at festivals nationwide. My latest horror, titled The Gaze, premiered in August 2020 on ALTER; and my follow-up short, a chilling drama titled Affliction, was a Daily Shorts Pick on Film Shortage in November 2020, as was my latest dark comedy Game Brunch, in August 2021. I’m currently focused on development for my hopeful third feature, a horror-comedy titled Silent Night.
