Filmmaker & Artist
I make practical-effects films in Massachusetts, on film, about people who can't quite say the thing they need to say. My short Humanzee played festivals across the country. My first feature is on the way.
Selected Work
A feature film about love and hope at the end of everything. Two couples. One boat. The apocalypse turned out to be harmless — but nobody on board has noticed that the real danger never came from the water. Shooting on 16mm off the South Shore of Massachusetts.
In a quiet house in the suburbs, a lonely woman's grisly past comes back to haunt her when an old friend knocks at the door.

Calamity ensues beneath the silver screen when two bank robbers pick a small town movie theater as their drop-off location.
Two recently broken-up high school seniors hash it out at a supposed UFO lookout spot.
