I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you for the incredible work you put into Operation Nightfall. It has been an absolute privilege to collaborate with such a talented and dedicated team. Your hard work, passion, and commitment to this project were instrumental in bringing it to life, and I am truly blessed to have shared this journey with you all.
A big shoutout to Tagg for writing such a phenomenal script and helping bring our vision to life. This film is a testament to what can be accomplished when extraordinary people come together, and I couldn’t be more proud of what we’ve created together. Thank you all for making this dream a reality! 🎥🎬

There's nobody better than @angelruizdirector at balancing boyish enthusiasm, thoughtful empathy, and twisted genius to get a project done right—whether he's acting, directing, or doing both at the same time.
If you see this luscious mane on your set, it means you're going to have a bomb-ass looking film and, more importantly, you're going to have a great time along the way. @slynematic is legendary.
Budget headshot. 😅 There's a free photo booth hidden in a dark corner at the ASU memorial union. I needed passport photos, and figured I should grab a headshot while I'm there.
It's a privilege editing @thezipupmanfilm (dir. @celeste.luccitti ) because I get to be the first one to see every one of these amazing scenes come together—and also because when @lilahguglielmo inevitably becomes a famous celebrity I'll be able to say I once worked on a project she was in. 🙌 (dp: @caseyfehr )
@dianakindra as Special Agent Eva Ortiz in "Obscura." Diana is one of my favorite people in the entire AZ film scene. She is unquestionably a great actor, but beyond that she's given me some of the most useful feedback on my screenplays of anyone who's seen them (including professional coverage services), she's a writer herself who constantly comes up with outlandish and spectacular ideas (the best kind!), and she's driven, organized, and professional on top of it all. Any production she's involved with is better for her being there.
@john_pene13 as Dr. Joe Kazadi in "Obscura." I first took notice of John from a monologue he posted ("I'm Fine" from the Teen Wolf series), and the power and nuance of it blew me away. I watched it five times in a row because it made me so emotional. I've been waiting for a chance to work with this guy ever since and we finally got to do something together!
@nick.milotta as Special Agent Caleb Lawrence in "Obscura." I first got to work with Nick in Season 2 of JijiColony (coming soon!) and was so impressed with him that I moved him to a more prominent role, which he then completely nailed (of course). Keep an eye on this guy.
@kayleeamante as Amber Kazadi in "Obscura." Kaylee was actually one of the first people I met in the local AZ film industry and her enthusiasm and kindness played a big role in getting me more active and involved. I owe her more than she realizes.
