An award winning short film I starred in 2023. I played a young magician, trying realize a dream and impress a young lady.
The film won over 25 awards at film festivals all over the country, with me winning Audience Choice Award Best Actor Short Film Drama at the Playhouse West Film Festival.

This was especially challenging because I had to learn magic tricks to perform in the film.
This is my Actor’s Demo Reel which features a few scenes from A Touch of Magic along with my other film credits.

As always I also captured some BTS images

This past October I was in the play The Great Lover by Alexander Dumas, presented by The Robey Theatre Company. I not only had a role in the play but I documented much of the rehearsal, the 20 show run and was able to take production photos, including group and individual portraits and capture scene portraits.

Below is the full photo gallery form the 3 month process.

This is a project I’ve been working on. I created, wrote and star in this series. It’s started as an assignment in a screenwriting class and over time it turned into an animated series.

The Story: Coffee already broke up with Sugar, now he’s breaking up with Cream, because he just wants to be Black Coffee for once in his life.

This first link is a short BTS of the voice-over recording -

This link is the unfinished pilot episode. The stroy is complete, the animation and the sound design still needs work.
