Solitary
The Demeter was supposed to carry the first crew to land on a habitable exoplanet. But after an accident en route the ship is lost with a single survivor in an escape pod, pushing forward, determined to complete the mission.
Alone in unexplored space the Astronaut drifts, hoping to find humanity’s future.
As a kid in the 80's every Sci-Fi film was like a dream I could one day be a part of and the scary ones, like Alien, really stuck to my core.
Solitary comes from my lifelong feeling of personal isolation combined with my desire to be part of and contribute to the global community.
I wanted to show in this film both the love of finding what's out there and the optimism associated with that while adding in the creepy, dark isolated terror.

“Lego Project”
Award winning documentarian Jon Stuyvesant and I have embarked on a new documentary chronicling a family’s struggle with grief and finding peace through their relationship with Legos.
Principal photography is complete and we are in the very early stages of post so keep an eye out.
“Whats In The Woods”
A recently wrapped horror short, we shot the film in the middle of the woods deep in Pennsylvania and had a blast. Being in the woods came with quite a number of challenges on top of the night shoots, building large lighting fixtures in the rain and 360 shooting setups. All this to say the challenges were met with great enthusiasm from everyone from production down resulting in some great images being captured. A little tease of the shots can be seen here.
The film was shot on Arri with Cooke glass.
We also shot a great companion piece following the police investigation and aftermath so be sure to check that out on the films website. You can also stay up to date and keep track of progress there as well, so click the button and take a look:
