2023 Directing Reel! So so thankful to all my incredible collaborators. More at the link in bio 🫶

This time last year I hit up a couple of friends to see if they wanted to screen their shorts… It somehow snowballed into “Your Friends Short Film” - a screening that sold out the biggest theatre in Pasadena. Incredibly, all 9 original filmmakers, and a handful more have all made new shorts despite much adversity, and we’ve decided to bring it back for a second year! Please join us for “Your Friends Short Film 2”. This is a completely free screening, this year we have the biggest screen at LOOK Glendale with a red carpet at Q&A! RSVP is required for entry, tap in now using the link in my bio. Seating is first come, first serve, Doors at 6:40, screening at 7, Q&A to follow. Reception and networking will happen after the screening at the LOOK Bar! This will be the first theatrical screening of PETUNIA. Be there or be ◼️ - DM with any Q’s.

John, a twenty-something with Asperger's Syndrome, will do anything it takes to be a voice actor. A huge gig on a tight deadline pops up that can take him to the next level, but he's suddenly plagued with technical issues. John's roommate is tripping psychedelic mushrooms and constantly gets in the way. When it all starts to fall apart, John has to risk all his money and his entire reputation on a single line of dialogue.

Life is really crazy sometimes. I grew up reading @nofilmschool articles religiously, constantly being inspired and motivated by them. Today I’m so happy to return the favor and chat a bit about making my latest short @petunia.sf Beyond my incredible cast and crew, I’m so so thankful to the incredible @alyssa.m.miller for giving me this platform and helping me fulfill a childhood dream. You’re incredible Alyssa!! Photo credits and huge thank you to @lydiahall.films @dylan_marzke and @michaelschisler Article link in bio!

steel city, glass heart I found a roll of Kodak Gold 400 from @berniesphotocenter that expired in 1990. My Grandpa Arthur was a hobbyist photographer and it felt surreal that he may have brushed past the very same roll of film. I wish we could have met and captured his city together, but I’m so glad my Nana can still recount his stories to me ❤️ Pushed two stops & developed @silviosphotoworks
