Honored to attend the 2026 Dallas International Film Festival for Bryan Poyser’s To Go. So grateful to celebrate independent cinema surrounded by insanely talented people. Texas stories have shaped so much of the way I see film, so seeing one honored in this space felt incredibly special. Thank you to everyone involved for making this experience possible! 🎬✨

TO-GO
A desperate dad ruins lunch when he tries to get his daughter to help him pass a drug test.
This story began years ago with writer/director @bryan.poyser . During his last semester at UT, he passed the same shirtless, drunken man every day. A man who would loudly fight with his girlfriend and eventually ask Bryan for his urine. That moment stayed with him. Years later, it became this film.
At its core, TO-GO is about how you can’t outrun your worst impulses, and how they impact others, especially children. It’s about the painful realization that the person who was supposed to protect you may not have been acting in your best interest at all.
It was a gift to step into this role and to bring Bryan’s vision to life. I feel incredibly grateful to have collaborated with such a talented cast and crew. And a huge thank you to my scene partner @djmrlefty (Brian McGuire). It was an honor to play across from you.
U.S. audiences- stay tuned! More festivals to be announced soon.
