Earlier this year on a whim with a group of friends I decided to whip out a short film script based on characters that my actor friends wanted to play.
At first I thought It would be something super simple that I would shoot myself with a DSLR but one thing led to another and my ambition made me go a little farther than that.
Flash forward to now, my short film, Shadow Puppets, has been selected to premiere at the 2025 Chicago Horror Film Festival @chicagohorrorfest .
Thanks to everyone involved! It was a blast to make and I'm looking forward to the next one.

2024 was one of the most prosperous years of my life. It’s hard to sum up a years worth of work into 90 seconds but I can try. I have so many great collaborators but most of all am thankful for @jake.johnstonn for trusting me to take the wheel beside him and make some cool ass shit. To much greater things in 2025!
