I am a filmmaker and screenwriter whose work focuses on how people face fear, grief, and the possibility of change. My current direction is in what I call redemption horror. It is rooted in the conventions of the horror genre but places equal weight on conscience, free will, and the choice to seek hope. My work asks what happens when horror is not only about what destroys us, but also about what might save us.
My career began outside of film. For more than fifteen years I worked as a creative director and strategist, leading campaigns and managing creative operations for major organizations. That work gave me a strong background in storytelling, collaboration, and execution at scale. It also trained me to move between vision and detail, to guide complex projects, and to lead teams through the full arc of creative delivery. At the same time, I pursued formal study of film at NYU Tisch School of the Arts, the School of Visual Arts in New York, Vancouver Film School, and the London Film School. This combination of professional discipline and artistic training prepared me to step fully into filmmaking.
Since then I have directed and written several independent projects. Soon was screened by the Seattle Film Society. Hulu Promo 2024 was produced under my studio Ragged Films, demonstrating my ability to bring cinematic language into branded and commercial contexts. Beneath the Same Sky (2025), supported by 4Culture, explores the relationship between a grieving dockworker and an undocumented immigrant, blending social realism with human drama. Each of these works has strengthened my craft and deepened my interest in stories that confront fear while searching for meaning.
