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! đ

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 airportâs 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.

THE STAFF WRITER in Italy
I am very proud that THE STAFF WRITER will premiere in the Ultras Shorts “Gradisca” category of the 16th Amarcort Film Festival in Rimini. The festival is dedicated to Frederico Fellini and runs from November 14 – 19 and screens films at multiple venues across the beautiful ocean town of Rimini. Our screening is on November 16th at 6 pm at the Cineteca Di Rimini.
Here’s to the next festival for A FRIENDLY TURN
Cheers everyone – this venue is a special one. A FRIENDLY TURN is back in Los Angeles and will screen on December 15th at 8 p.m. at the Nihilist Film Festival in Santa Monica at The Highways Performance Space.
“The festival is dedicated to films that other festivals are afraid of from troubling to hilarious, from profound to completely silly. Pretty much, something for everyone (except children and clergy).” And Festival Director Elisha Shapiro commented, âTwenty years of hilariously offensive short filmsâŚI really thought we would have caused the rapture by now. Guess thereâs no downside to mocking all thatâs holy.â
So if you are in LA this holiday season, join us and have a drink – or two – and celebrate some nihilistic films. đ
