I’m a New York based writer, director, and producer who has spent the past twelve years making independent genre films rooted in resourcefulness, persistence, and character. I believe in building projects from what’s available and committing fully, even when the odds are stacked against you.
I recently finished shooting my debut feature film, Knights of Night, a project I carried through over two and a half years while working full time at Queens Defenders. Made entirely on a low budget and shot incrementally across New York City, the film was built with an ensemble cast of 52 actors from all walks of life. It follows a group of punk vigilantes whose online notoriety pulls them into conflicts with a corrupt government, a rival cult known as The Mutineers, and their own unraveling psyches.
Despite its limited resources, the film was designed to feel expansive and chaotic in scale, driven by raw, genuine performances and lived in New York energy.
The film exists because of deep collaboration and support from the New York film community. It was sustained through two crowdfunding campaigns, one fiscally sponsored by Fractured Atlas, alongside my own paychecks and the trust of dozens of actors and collaborators who stayed with the project over years. It is now in post production and being prepared for festival submissions and distribution conversations.
Alongside my feature work, my short film Anatomy Maestro was acquired by Arrow Video for their streaming platform and covered by Fangoria during its run at the Popcorn Frights Film Festival. I continue to direct, shoot, edit, and produce across both short and long form projects.
I’m drawn to work that takes risks, lives in moral gray areas, and feels handmade rather than manufactured. My current focus is completing Knights of Night and continuing to develop ambitious, feature driven independent work through Silver Globe Pictures.
