Here’s my Writer/Director Demo Reel. I wrote most of these films (some were collaborations with other writers), but I directed all of them.

I am looking for representation! (Commercial and Narrative)

This is my Writer/Director Demo Reel from a bunch of projects I’ve made over the years. I wrote the majority of these films (which a few exceptions with other amazing writers). I directed and edited everything here!

I’m looking for new projects!

PARASOMNIA

A reclusive woman who is tortured by night terrors must unite with the ghosts who haunt her dreams in order to escape the house of a psychopath.

The dread of HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE with the atmospheric tone of THE CROW.

My short film, SLOPPY SECONDS, is live on the @creepycoolpics YouTube channel (LINK IN PROFILE). It asks the question “What if I wrote/directed an episode of Tales From The Crypt?”

Starring @trayceeking, @claytonbury and @ashleyjademusic!

Just got this comment on my new short film. Made my day.

Check out Sloppy Seconds below! It’s my love letter to the vibe and style of Tales From The Crypt!

Oh dang… apparently horror is “THE new hot genre in Hollywood” according to NetworkISA! Wow… how did we get so lucky for this amazing news?!

Somebody tell @joerusso.bsky.social so we can get this word out!

Currently eating pie and watching Christmas Bloody Christmas on Shudder.

This is what brings me joy.

I was once Eeyore at Disney World. I embodied that character. Everyone tried to cheer me (him) up with lots of hugs.

Now, on my 42nd BDay, I can't escape this feeling of being Eeyore. I'm bummed, sad, and lonely.. but, I'm also loyal, compassionate, and empathetic.

Thanks for noticin' me.

I love how different these two recent reviews are for one of my horror short films. One guy really gets me… and the other was bored.

I feel validated, somehow.

Ok, here’s my #FirstPageFriday post for #ScriptSky! It’s the opening page of my slasher film, RAINING BLOOD!

Would love to interact more on here as opposed to that other place. Looking forward to meeting more filmmakers/writers/horror peeps!

Team PARASOMNIA drifted into the shadows of our #EBSElevateHollywood panel, guided by the mesmerizing @kaiaalexander.bsky.social! Still, our ghost story stirs beyond the veil. Are you afraid of what lurks in the dark?

This week, I’m seeing The Crow on 35mm at the New Beverly. So, I’m gonna post my favorite lines from the movie.

“Victims… aren’t we all?”

I’m not saying this is THE official poster for my new horror short, HAUNTED… just a rough idea…, a fun direction for marketing, though. 👻

Can’t wait to see what my friend can draw in this style. It’s gonna be a fun short film!

Looking forward to the next film!
