With a passion for genre and characters that actors would kill to play, my work strives to ensure a balance of both thought-provoking depth and exciting spectacle that leaves audiences moved and entertained in equal measure. In 2026, the feature horror film Lenore, which I produced and performed in the lead role, won the Audience Choice Award at the Fantasporto Film Festival in Portugal. My short film Beautiful Smile, which I wrote, produced and performed in, was selected to premiere at the 31st Austin Film Festival in 2024.
