Very excited to head to LA to screen my film WINDOWS at @nfmla next weekend March 9 along with a bunch of other great films. Windows is a slice-of-life portrayal of a homeless man that breaks into a stranger’s empty house to try out normal life for a few hours, only to reconnect with something in himself that shakes him to his core. This was my fourth collaboration with my dude @zay_beacham I’ll be there for it - come thru! 🎬🙌🏾 Screening details at link in bio.

Feeling grateful to have a second film making its festival premiere this weekend in San Jose: my short HONEY at @sjisff . Plays tomorrow! This was another film made during the pandemic that I wrote, directed, shot, edited and produced myself. Always glad to work with the endless talents of @zay_beacham and @williambillearlray and Josh Weinstein. And always my sound mixer/designer @audiowells . HONEY is about a street robbery that goes sideways when the would-be victim knows more about the robbers than they could ever imagine. Thanks to the festival for having us. Wish I could be there.

Excited as heck to premiere my short WINDOWS tomorrow at the @portlandfilm festival. I wrote, directed, produced, shot and edited this one and I love how it turned out. I knew @zay_beacham was a talented actor before we did this one but he really takes it to the next level as a homeless man confronting something deep inside himself. All without dialogue. Shout out to the master of sound @audiowells for his always-excellent sound design and mixing. Plays Saturday at 2:45 in the Pearl District as part of the Portland Shorts Blocks. Link in bio for schedule and details. #filmfestival #shortfilm #blackactors #blackfilmmakers #portland

Now playing: my new short film HONEY at the link in bio. For a limited time only as we start to submit to festivals. Starring the excellent @williambillearlray , @zay_beacham and Josh Weinstein. Loved working with these powerhouses. 💪🏾 Synopsis: Two street crooks get more than they bargained for when the man they try to rob flips the script and makes them question everything. Thank you for watching! 🙏🏾

Me crawling out of a weeks-long writing hole: tired, unshaven, wall covered with notecards that stopped making sense a few drafts ago. But the script is done and that’s all that matters. Also might be the best thing I ever wrote. Now to get it made… #screenwriting #filmmaking
