GRAMPS checks into the Horror Hotel Film Festival
Old GRAMPS continues his travels and will screen next at The International Horror Hotel Film Festival in Northeast Ohio.
Join us for some scary morning films on Saturday, June 21st at 10:30 am in the shorts section, Room B at the Crowne Plaza Cleveland Airport Hotel in Middleburg. GRAMPS is also nominated for best MICRO FILM – HORROR ⭐, so cross your fingers.
MOM’S CALLING – dare to answer?
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. 
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.
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!
