I'm a Director, Writer, and Actor based in New York. I love to make original work that's uniquely creative and widely accessible. Retro cinema is a huge inspiration for me, especially in visual terms.
I'VE ALSO GAINED HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE ACROSS THE INDUSTRY — WORKING AS A PA, ASSISTANT CAMERA, And BACKGROUND ACTOR ON MAJOR PRODUCTIONS with Universal PictuRes and Fx. THESE EXPERIENCES GAVE ME A DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF HOW LARGE-SCALE SETS OPERATE AND SHARPENED MY APPROACH AS A DIRECTOR.
My short film, "After Dark" has been recognized by
five film festivals:
MegaFlix Movie Awards (UK), Athens International Monthly Art Film Festival (GREECE), The Indian Independent Film Festival (INDIA), International Movie Awards (USA), and Folkestone Film Festival (UK).
"THE ENEMY" WON BEST MUSIC VIDEO AT THE PARADISE FILM FESTIVAL (GERMANY).

He had a positive attitude that made working with him fun :) He was open to suggestions from crew members involved while also making sure all necessary components of the video were taken care of."
