I’m a writer/director with over a decade of experience making independent feature films from the ground up—writing them, producing them, and getting them across the finish line into distribution. I gravitate toward grounded, character-driven stories inside elevated genre—period horror, survival, and contained thrillers. My work tends to live in that space between arthouse restraint and commercial tension. I don’t just generate ideas—I build films that actually get made. I’ve written, directed, and produced four feature films, including Blood in Them Hills (2025) as Writer/Director/Producer, Royals’ Revenge (2020), The View From Here (2017), and Tangerineland (2015). I’m currently developing The Saints of Augustine, Z-Company, and The King of Salt and Bone, and I’m seeking partnership with a manager to scale into higher-budget projects and focus on development and long-term career strategy.…I’m a writer/director with over a decade of experience making independent feature films from the ground up—writing them, producing them, and getting them across the finish line into distribution.
