Credits

Embers (2026)
(Thriller) Screenwriter When two couples meet at an isolated lakeside property to scatter a loved one's ashes, jealousy and old rivalries turn a celebration of life into a fight to the death.
What's Locked Behind That Door (2025)
Music Video by Sly Dog Studio Art Director, Associate Producer Global Music Award Winner for Best Music Video. "What's Locked Behind That Door" was inspired by the film The Brain That Wouldn't Die (1962), where a mad scientist conceals a terrifying secret behind a door. The doors serve as the pulsing core of the music video, acting as a powerful metaphor for the intricate tapestry of emotions we all navigate. The video blends motion graphic techniques with 2D and 3D animation, using black-and-white and color sequences to create a visually striking and immersive journey through human emotion. Advanced compositing, match-moving, and rotoscoping techniques were used to integrate archival footage with original door imagery, crafting a cohesive narrative that balances visual storytelling with space for personal interpretation.

Film (short) Writer, Director For plumber Sam, retrieving a ring lost down the drain is all in a day's work. But when he meets his client Beth, the evening takes an unexpected turn. She's warm, magnetic, and cooking something inviting that fills the house with comfort. They share a moment- a spark between two lonely souls. So it seems like fate when she invites him to stay for dinner. But as he's drawn deeper into her world, one thing becomes clear- love, loss and obsession all come from the heart.
