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”.

GLENDALE PARADISE back in New York

It’s amazing that we now have our second festival in New York. GLENDALE PARADISE will return to the Big Apple on November 14 at 6 p.m. to screen in Shorts Block 19 of the New York Short Film Festival, which takes place at the Cinema Village in downtown Manhattan. See you all there.

For ten years, the NYSFF has showcased the best of short filmmaking and celebrated indie films and filmmakers from around the world.

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! 😉
