FILMOGRAPHY
Next to my work as a digital artist, I direct narrative-driven films exploring connection and transformation through genre cinema with strong dramatic foundations.
These stories have earned 2x Vimeo Staff Picks, many official festival selections worldwide, and Best Short Film at the Oscar-qualifying Flickers' Rhode Island International Film Festival, building toward my debut feature 'Black Egg’.
