Even though I have a commissioned painting calling my name, I still found myself winding down with a little sketch before bed. Sometimes you need a quick creative pause to keep the spark alive.

In the hush before midnight, the world forgets to breathe
Pumpkins flicker like trembling hearts in the dark
Old secrets rise with the fog, knocking on closed doors
And shadows remember the names we try to forget

Found a relic: the lyric notebook for my first band, THAT AWFUL NOISE. We were a chaotic mix of Violent Femmes & Dead Milkmen. We weren't geniuses, but my god, we were alive. #punkrock #punksnotdead #punk #lyrics

The Doctor’s House in Glendale was built in the 1880s and once home to generations of doctors who cared for the dying. When it was moved to Brand Park in the 1970s, something else came too. Visitors report footsteps, missing tools, and a pale woman in white watching from the window. #haunted #spooky

I like staying in Video Village about as much as I like photos of myself. Which is to say, not much. Directing isn't about observing from a distance; it's about feeling the energy of the scene firsthand, That's where the truth of the moment is born.

Beginning the last few days of pick ups for my lastest feature.
These final days hum with that bittersweet film alchemy, exhaustion mixed with the profound ache of letting go. Soon comes the quiet after the storm, carrying the memories that will outlive all of us.

They say you can never go home again. It’s true, but not because the places change (though they do), but because you change.
The journey isn’t about geography. It’s about recognizing how far the protagonist has come.

Swapped LA's endless sun for Lynchburg's signature humidity. Forgot how the air here wears you like a second skin. Yet, stepping back into these scenes, the light diffuses differently.

This sign marks more than a border; it's a lens change. What stories live in these hills, along these rivers? What light waits to paint Lynchburg? Every place holds its own rhythm waiting to be felt.

The “Welcome” sign isn’t just a border, it’s a threshold.
New landscapes, new light, new stories waiting to be framed.
Raleigh, the next scene rolls soon.

GA to NC Road Trip: Sometimes the most compelling frames aren’t the grand vistas, but the quiet moments of recalibration on the shoulder. Reminder: even detours are part of the journey’s narrative.

One final Atlanta. Every city becomes a character in its own right, leaving imprints on the story. Packing bags for North Carolina feels like turning a page, bittersweet closure for this location, anticipation for the light and lens of the next chapter.
