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!

“Corey is unwinding at the nearby park when he suddenly collapses. Upon regaining consciousness, he encounters the enigmatic JC, engaging in a brief yet potentially life-altering conversation.”
Let’s make some NOISE
Here comes yet another Cine Practicum. I had the opportunity to write and direct this short film during the spring semester and filmed it with a group of skilled Cinematography students at Burbank Studios’ Stage 5.
While at home alone, Wendy engages in a phone conversation with her mother. Suddenly, unexplainable events begin to unfold within her apartment. The question lingers: Could there be another presence with her?

Check out this scene I shot last semester with CINE students. This fun scene was based on “Dudes” by David Dalton & Chad Schnackel.
Luke wakes up his best friend, Alex, to help him figure out what happened the night before but first, he needs to convince him that it is truly him.
A FRIENDLY TURN opened at LA Shorts!
A FRIENDLY TURN had a full house with over 200 film fans at the Regal Theatre at LA Live. Our comedy was in the company of six great short films accompanied by a Q&A on stage. Big Thanks to LA Shorts International Film Festival for a great screening and more festivals to come!
FOLLOW-UP just uploaded
I am running a little behind fine-tuning the final cuts of last semester’s Cine Practicums and FOLLOW-UP is the first one I was able to finish. Great job to the cast and crew – I am very proud of this one!
It is not looking good for Corey during this routine visit to the doctor. This is going to be a hard hard pill to swallow. 🙂
