When I was in second grade my grandmother gave me an old video camera. Instantly, I was mystified by the power of recording images and watching them back just seconds later. Everything from Christmas mornings to visits through the zoo became subjects for my lens to focus on. My first real short film came a little while after this obsession for filming everything around me and told the story of a tornado terrorizing a group of children. The production lacked and the acting was horrible, but it was not half bad for a seven year old. More importantly, it was the true beginning of my film career.
I graduated from Syracuse University’s film program. My thesis project, No Accommodations (2018) had a successful festival run. After graduating, I traveled to Lebanon to shoot a documentary short, Hope of Syria. Teaming up with Joe Blank, I co-wrote and co-directed the micro-budget feature film Friends from Home (2023). Most recently, I wrapped up post- production on his latest feature film, Month to Month (2023), which I co-wrote and co-directed with Derrick Owens.
I currently live in Los Angeles.
