Writer, Director, Filmmaker
I’m a writer and filmmaker with a background in directing, acting, editing, improv, and comedy. I’ve been making films and performing since 2016, with experience in theatre, stand-up, web series, and independent short films, several of which have won awards on the 24-hour film festival circuit.
I created, produced, directed, and edited the comedy web series Punching Below the Bible Belt and I’m currently focused on screenwriting, particularly horror, dark comedy, and character-driven stories. My current project, Bed and Butcher, is a horror short film.
