Immensely grateful to be included amongst this group of incredibly talented filmmakers! Looking forward to what’s to come in the next year—thank you @sundanceorg @adobe

So proud to announce that “Expiration Date” will have its New York premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival this June!!! @tribeca One of the first times I filmed with the Ensor family was Thanksgiving 2021. I woke up at 4:00am and drove out to the farm, where I found Ned already deep into his day. After a few hours of shooting, I went home and crashed (as Ned continued his work)—only to wake up and head right back for their Thanksgiving “dinner” (really more of a lunch, timed so Ned could join before heading back to the farm). Not only did the Ensors let me film such an intimate family meal, they also welcomed me to their table—with a plate full of food and a few of Grandma Bobbie’s famous whiskey sours. I may have enjoyed myself a little too much, as I nearly missed dinner with my own family that night. I am reminded of the endless generosity this family has shown me, on that day and on many since. If you’re able, please join us for one of our screenings this June!! Tickets go on sale 4/29. SHORTS: “COMMON GROUND” Mon. June 9th - 9:00pm Shorts Theater at Spring Studios Sat. June 14th - 11:15am AMC 19th St. East 6 Sun. June 15th - 5:30pm Shorts Theater at Spring Studios #Tribeca2025

Honored that @apolloshortfilm was nominated for ‘Best Short Narrative Film’ alongside a group of incredibly talented filmmakers last month at the Woodstock Film Festival!!! @woodstockfilmfestival

“Apollo” is finally available to watch online via @omeleto and @filmsupply ! It’s hard to believe I started this script nearly five years ago. Filming back home in Maryland was unforgettable for a variety of reasons. We faced torrential downpour and power outages during our first shoot in 2022, sending us back to NYC with only half a film and no plan (read: money) to complete the project. It took a full year to get back to Maryland with the cast and crew where we shot an almost entirely new film. I have grown so much with this project and I am so grateful to the countless people who contributed their time and resources to bring it to life. Many lessons learned and feeling very excited for what’s to come. #drewschili

Finally having a moment to reflect on the wonderful experience that was @tribeca and feeling very grateful for many things but friends and family are at the top of the list. Thank you to everyone who joined us for the screening of @edshortfilm last month! And a special thank you to the programmers and others from the festival who made it so incredible. 🐄🚜
