Exactly one year ago my team and I began fundraising for our horror feature, Remnant. We faced setback after setback, but we never gave up. Now, after securing nearly $2M we're finally going to camera. My feature directorial debut. If you watch for the signals, dreams really can come true.

Remnant Pre-Production Day 3 - Getting into my car after a wildly successful afternoon of scouting my first thought was, "If I get to do this for the rest of my life, I'm the luckiest guy in the world."

First official work day of 2026 and I couldn't be happier getting to prep my directorial debut. Perhaps the most important thing you can do as a director/producer is hire the right people. This applies to both cast and crew -- and I consider myself extremely lucky to work with this top-tier group.
