I create low budget, grounded, genre and hybrid-genre TV Series and Films, and I like to think of myself as a queer futurist! A little bit John Carpenter meets Jon Waters, with a dose of John Cameron Mitchell! (The Holy Jon Trifecta). Check out my Writer/Director Reel to the right for a short sample of some of my work.
I'm currently developing multiple Feature and TV projects, and am planning to shoot some of the short films I've been writing in the coming year. Look below for samples from my screenwriting portfolio. If you're a showrunner or producer looking to Staff a room or a Writing Room Assistant, a director that mentors aspiring filmmakers, looking for collaboration, or interested in one of my projects or portfolio for representation, producing, optioning, or funding--please reach out and lets chat!

FEATURE
Horror
1990s Bay Area Creature Feature
April 1999, days after Columbine--Drea wants her band to play Prom at their Private Catholic Prep School. They get their chance when the new Principal proposes having two proms in light of recent events: one for the "cool kids" and one for, well, everyone else. Everyone's on board--but there's a lot more to this radical new Principal's experiment, and it's going to make for a HELL of a night.
FEATURE
Crime Drama
Present Day--Portland, Or.
Sofia--a former Mafia Capo from Genoa, Italy--comes out of hiding to find her missing, estranged daughter in modern day Portland, Oregon. Unfamiliar with the landscape, Sofia forms a bond with her daughter's wife, and a retired cop who volunteered as a security guard for their bakery. Together, they scour a beautiful and depraved landscape that seems to exist off any discernible grid in hopes that Mo is still alive.
