About Wes

I'm a multiple hat-wearer - writer, actor, director, editor - it all goes with owning Emerald Slate Productions. I specialize in narrative shorts, with a feature project planned for 2017. I've had several short and feature screenplays place in the Top-10 of reputable international contests. I've had short films entertain audiences at film festivals.

Director’s Statement

"The never-ending education of film-making fascinates me. I learn something on every shoot, and I apply that new knowledge to the next production. Compelling stories, beautifully shot, using Midwest USA talent is what I do, and I love doing it."
