NEW SHORT FILMS IN PRODUCTION
Forming my own independent production company, High Risk Films, has supported my passion for directing my own narrative projects.
​
After years spent creating content for other people, embracing the creative freedom of independent filmmaking has been especially invigorating. With a hand-drawn animated short in production and a short comedic thriller set to film this fall, High Risk Films is already affording me exciting directing opportunities.

TWO SHORTS PREMIERING
​
Two indie shorts I produced, Casey Leach's Nanners and Nikki Groton's Shadow Dancer, are both celebrating recent premieres. Working on these two unique projects was equally challenging and exciting thanks in part to the shadow puppets, tap choreography, 200 banana peels, and capuchin monkey the films feature. I'm so thrilled with the finished films and enjoyed celebrating them!
