Pushover has been re-released on Omeleto! Link in bio! Words can not express how grateful I am to all of the lovely people who helped me make this demented thing a reality, as well as to those who showed me love and support on my festival journey. My heart goes out to old and new friends from my recent trip to LA. I will be back, we will collaborate in the future, and the city will be stronger than ever. My thoughts are with you all.

Thank you @coneyislandfilmfest for bestowing Crowded Out with the first award of its festival run! It was my second time bringing a project to the sideshow, and you didn't fail to surprise and energize me with your truly singular, gritty, freak-flag vibe. May there be many more editions to come! #coneyisland #coneyislandfilmfestival #darkcomedy #indiefilmmaking #arthouse @_pavda_ , @charlieshooting , @themightyaks , @danielhirsh_actor , @rv_clarke , @bsterlingchan , @the.al.show , @mattsomerstein , @michamilla , @yeahcolorhouse , @jaredapuzzo

A good chunk of the lovely Crowded Out crew at it's @danceswithfilms NY premiere at #regalunionsquare . I couldn't have made this insanely ambitious project without you all. The icing on the cake is being able to bring down a sold out house in the city that inspired the nightmare. And amongst such other wildly talented filmmakers! Grateful is an understatement. Left to right (back row): Andy McCain, Patrick Voss Davis, Brian Sterling Chan, and R.V. Clarke. Front row: Will Watkins, Alexandra Watkins, Me 👋, Grant Herson, Matt Somerstein, and Tom Rizzuto. Sorely missed but there in spirit: Charlie DesJardin (@charlieshooting ), Al Pattanashetty (@pattanashettyallamaprabhu ), Daniel Hirsch (@danielhirsh_actor ), Johnny Zito (@johnnyzito1 ), Michael Miller (@michamilla ), Gavin Rosenberg (@yeahposthouse @gavinrosenberg ), and Jared Apuzzo (@jaredapuzzo ). Emotional support and possible AI: Trevor Hembling (@trevorhembling ) 📷 by @dudestin , @maryeileenhealy , and Brian Sterling Chan #dwf #danceswithfilms #redcarpet #filmfestival

Crowded Out comes home for its NY Premiere at @regalunionsquare as a part of the @danceswithfilms NY Midnight Series on Saturday, January 17th at 9:30pm. Tickets are live! Come hang out, watch all of our disturbing short films, then give me a pointer or two about #citydriving! #parkingfail #parkingspot #dwfny #danceswithfilms #horrorcomedy

Pushover has a new home on @omeleto Comedy. If you haven't watched it yet, give it 7 minutes and 27 seconds of your time. If you have watched it, watch it again! #cursed #shortfilms #customerreviews #paperweight #strange #blackcomedy

Throwback to October's @montclairfilm Festival '25 and the Midnight Shorts block. First 📸 @maryeileenhealy . #mff25 #montclairfilmfestival #montclairfilm #montclairnj #genrefilm

Forever poking the bear. @filmquest 2025 was a blast and a major milestone for the festival. I'm humbled by the talent I witnessed, met intimately, and was lucky enough to screen alongside of. Midnight Madness was indeed just that. I've never experienced such a packed, vocal house at 3 in the morning fueled by energy drinks and alcohol. Portraits by the incomparable @johnnycallme and @zvd.jpeg . Gracious hospitality by @redheadcheekygirl , @radardog , @emleev , @bterry1968 , and of course, Jonathan Martin. #filmquest #genrefilm #shortfilm🎞📽⚡️#filmfestivals #provo #utahunique

I am become stock photo. Destroyer of wallets. Thanks for having me @filmquest ! I promise you a more fantastic and beyond post in the not-too-distant future! #filmquest #filmfestivals #getty #gettyimages

Crowded Out gets its first write-up! Also, I insult the neighborhood I live in! Thank you @filmquest , @leagueoffilmmakers , and Cael Montreaux! The link to the entire article is in my bio.
