In Early 2018, a heart condition benched me during my high school baseball season. Having lost my ability to participate on the field, I elected to help the team from the sidelines with my camera. As I grew in love with image making and storytelling; I began making narrative short films with friends in High School. As I progressed, my films began to screen at student film competitions, winning awards at local and national levels. When my high school came years to a close, it became time to look beyond the limits of the nonexistent Maryland film industry and move West to film's capital. As a film student in LA during Covid, my classmates and I found ways to continually and safely make films as we studied. As the pandemic slowly came to a close, we continued making films on larger and larger scales which steadily grew my portfolio and catalogue of connections. My most recent film, a comedy, premiered at Dances with Films in New York, expanding my network and further motivating me to reach audiences and entertain.
