Selected directorial work. Quiet, mostly. Loud when it has to be.

Direction · Screenplay · Edit

A small but stubborn body of directorial work. Shorts about being slightly out of step with the room you're standing in. Three films across narrative, storytelling and experimental modes.

01 /

I'm drawn to stories that happen in the corners of bigger ones — the cousin nobody invited, the friend who shows up late, the moment between two punchlines. Most of these started as conversations I overheard.

02 /

I shoot lean. Small crews, real locations, available light when I can get away with it. The films are about people, not production.

03 /

Editing is where I find the film, not where I assemble it. I've thrown out entire acts in the cut. I'll do it again.
