Still taking it all in.
To be nominated for Best Writing in a TV Series is an honour I do not take lightly, and to see projects I had the privilege of writing receive recognition across different categories is incredibly fulfilling.
The Party — 3 nominations including Best Writing in a TV Series
The Serpent’s Gift — 6 nominations including Best Overall Movie
The Covenant — 1 nomination
Hussaini — Winner, Best Short Film
To my beautiful wife, my family, and my friends, thank you for being my anchor. Thank you for loving me through every season and constantly reminding me why I started telling stories in the first place.
Storytelling has never been a solitary journey. To every producer, director, actor, and creative partner I’ve worked with, thank you for your patience, your brilliance, and your commitment to the craft.
A big thank you to everyone who watched, supported, recommended, reposted, encouraged, and believed in the stories we told. It means more than words can fully express.
This journey continues.

We had so much fun making this.
