Check out “Mom’s Calling”. I shot this quick scare last semester with a class of some very talented CINE students at the New York Film Academy stage in Glendale.

GRAMPS premieres in Atlanta
I am ecstatic that GRAMPS will screen at the Atlanta Mirco Film Festival.
This fast-paced one-day event brings together an exciting mix of filmmakers and film lovers to celebrate short-form storytelling at its boldest. From dark comedies and experimental pieces to animation, documentaries, and clever micro-horror, they showcase films that make their mark and leave you thinking. The festival is all about films that say a lot in very little time. Every film is under five minutes, but the ideas, emotions, and surprises are anything but small.
Screenings take place on May 10th, at the Limelight Theater with curated blocks throughout the day, filmmaker Q&As, and a laid-back vibe that keeps things fresh and welcoming. GRAMPS screens in “Quick Frights” Shorts#7 starting at 6:30 pm. Hurry up and tell your friends in Atlanta, tickets are selling out quickly.
Let’s make some NOISE in Wisconsin!
The MidWest WeirdFest picked up NOISE and will screen it on March 9 at 12 p.m. at the Micon Downtown Cinema in Eau Claire in Shorts#4, “THE W[EIRD] FILES.”
As one of Filmfreeway’s top 100 reviewed festivals, it is dedicated to exhibiting and promoting independent films and focuses on weird cinema from all around the world. The festival team wants MidWest WeirdFest to evoke the awe and chills of the sideshow alley of a dark carnival, a place filled with wonders, terrors, and forbidden surprises. So join us for a night of frights and enjoy NOISE on the big screen.
WIZ TEST – a short comedy about Number 3
Enjoy this fun scene I shot with CINE students last semester at NYFA. We just wanted to have fun with some “show, don’t tell”.
GRAMPS is not one for a joke!
I loved this creepy location where we shot last semester. I had so much fun with this scene but I think I was the only one enjoying it! 😉
Stretch with DOWN DOG
Check out this fun project I shot back in the Spring 24 Semester with Cine students at NYFA. It is so delightful to watch Hilary Barry and Ben Solenberger practice Yoga in this cheeky skit.

A FRIENDLY TURN in the Hamptons
I am so happy that A FRIENDLY TURN arrives on the East Coast. The Hamptons Comedy Film Festival screens the film on August 23 & 24 at the Sticks and Stones Comedy Club paired with stand-up comedy and other highly curated best-in-comedy films. Join us if you are around.
Have you ever lost your SHVIGGER?
I just finished my first Practicum in 2024. I wrote and directed this short comedy and filmed it with Cinematography students at the New York Film Academy on glorious 35mm. Thanks for all the good work on this.
“It just seems like a normal day at the airport’s lost & found until a strange client comes in on the search for something very unusual.”
Enjoy!
A FRIENDLY TURN in Wyoming
I am delighted that A FRIENDLY TURN runs at the Wyoming International Film Festival in Cheyenne. On July 11 the film will screen at 5:15 pm in the Program #Connections with other shorts about friends, family, love, & loss.
The Wyoming International Film Festival says about itself, that it isn’t just another film fest, it’s a 5 day celebration of filmmakers and art from around the world! Screenings in a state-of-the-art theater, filmmakers Q&As, live dance, live music, unique western experiences, art and photography exhibitions, and nightly parties give filmmakers ample opportunity to network and exhibit their work – and most important of all – have a blast while visiting Wyoming! WyoIFF is capped off with an award ceremony where we present 20 awards, along with other prizes, to the winners of the festival.
See you on the great plains.
