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.
