I am a screenwriter & director from all over the U.S., now based in Detroit, Michigan.

My short films have appeared nationally and internationally, in festivals such as New York

Indie Short Film Festival, Mirada Corta, International Film Festival and Paris Short Film Festival.

In August 2023, I participated in PlayLab Films Creator’s Lab with Apichatpong Weerasethakul in

Yucatán, Mexico. Under the guidance of the Thai director, I directed the short film I Caught a Glimpse

of Myself, Briefly.

My interests lie in independent cinema, non-distinct geographical identities & a return to shooting on

celluloid. I believe cinema is the most sustainable and affordable way to travel; we have yet to

explore its full potential.

When not writing or directing, I am a freelance videographer & editor, working for companies such as

Illumine Service Foundation, 1,000 Dreams Fund & TDA Global Cycling.
