2025 tried to destroy me after I lost my mom earlier this year. But my friends showed up, held me up, and somehow made a brutal year full of love and laughter. I wouldn’t still be here without y’all. Forever thankful for my peeps!
Yesterday I crossed a BIG dream off the list, meeting the cast of my all-time favorite movie! The highlight was chatting with Back to the Future’s legendary creator and producer, Bob Gale.
Can’t wait to meet more of the cast at Dragon Con next weekend. Huge shoutout to my film bro @dakc22 for the last-minute tag along.
Today, I buried a beautiful piece of my soul. 31 years of having the greatest mom, best friend, and my #1 fan. Spending the last 5 months in NY taking care of you was the hardest and greatest gift I could have ever asked for. It doesn’t make saying goodbye any easier, but it will always remain a special time in my heart.
My mom inspired all my joy, laughter, and compassion I have for others. She also taught me the importance of finding the silver lining in every day. Although my heart is broken that shes gone, I’m so blessed to have had such a supportive role model in my life, shaping me into the man I am today.
Love you forever, Mom.

Boogie Nights is my 2nd favorite movie of all time, so naturally I had to make it the theme of my birthday and boogie with all the coolest kids in ATL 🕺🏻🪩💃🏻

If you live in Atlanta and love movies then you know there’s no place like the @plazaatlanta .
The last year “working” in film has been really tough for a lot of my friends and I but this magical theater has kept our spirits high. Thank you plaza for continuing to pull out all the stops with not only hosting the @atlantafilmfestival but with all the incredible guests you’ve had this year.
Finally check out the @waxwanefilms screenings that happen every month for a guaranteed great night at the cinema!
2023 was filled with incredible adventures, amazing friends, but also that time the film industry died. Let’s only focus on the good times though 😎 Here’s to another fun year with y’all!
Most of these snaps were taken by @danielmrainer as per usual.
#NowWatching Chenzy’s 30th birthday. Guest starring all my incredible friends & “Rocky” the Red Power Ranger.
Special thanks to @danielmrainer for capturing my life on camera all these years and putting my face on every poster in my house with the help of Amanda, @petergriggss , @indigowylde , & @josieneves . Also shout out to @itsmeeemz for crashing the party with the best gift I’ve ever received, my childhood hero at my doorstep 🤣
A recap of my adventures at Cannes Film Festival 2023 with the film I produced @beautyosity .

Cannes 2023 was an unforgettable experience. I met incredible people from around the world, saw amazing films, and screened a short I produced called @beautyosity for a full theater. I can’t wait to apply all I’ve learned through this experience as I continue to develop the Beautyosity feature film as well as any of my future projects! A special thank you to everyone who has believed and helped me on this journey to get to this milestone in life. Cannes, I'll be back!
