Gaffer work behind the scenes
I spent time gaffing for an independent film company in the Poconos, helping to create the look and feel of "Genesis Valley". We worked day and night to properly illuminate the slow-burn, post-apocalyptic thriller. (BTS by Rebecca Judd, @rebeccajuddphoto).
Marina film behind the scenes
I provided script supervision for the film Marina, starring Peter Friedman ("Succession") and Grace McLean. An incredible honor to work with such talented actors and crewmembers. (BTS by Victoria Wilcox, @torian.studios).

My scripts have been selected for the Phoenixville Film Festival 2 years running, and my script "Nuerocapital" won Best Short Screenplay in 2025! My first short script, Believer's Club, is in post-production. Stay tuned for more!
