Hollywood Horrorfest screens GRAMPS

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?

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. 

 

 

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.

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!

Sometimes we need A STROKE OF GENIUS

Here comes the next practicum I had the pleasure of shooting with Cine students. Third time with amazing Ben Solenerger – check it out!

“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.
