Check out MIDNIGHT SNACK. I shot this tragic story in the summer of 2025 with a class of very talented CINE students to raise awareness about people who suffer from fridge blindness, a condition that is hardly talked about. I hope this short will encourage people to step forward, seek help, and start to heal.

On Sunday, September 21, GARMPS will screen at the Hollywood Horrorfest at the Eastwood Performing Arts Center. Our little shocker will be the opener for the feature film “Lead Belly” in program six, starting at 12.30 pm. Get your tickets here.
Home to the prestigious Vincent Price Award, the festival has celebrated, for over ten years, indie horror’s rising stars and the legends who paved the way.

MOM’S CALLING – dare to answer?
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.

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!
Sometimes we need A STROKE OF GENIUS

“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?
