Crisis in Control Room 117
About the Film.
The idea for Crisis in Control Room 117 was conceived in a gas station bathroom in the middle of nowhere Ohio. I was on a road trip and had been driving for 10 hours when, tired and weary, I stopped to get gas and use the restroom. When I waved my hand under the automatic sink, I imagined a team of aliens in a control room that actually control the sink; Kind of like Men in Black. So when I got home from my trip I wrote this film, cast actors from a Detroit actors Facebook group, and asked an old videography client if I could film in their control room.
Laying Down the Law
About the Film.
My best friend and I co-wrote this film in college as our third year thesis project. It's about a pro wrestler who gets injured in the ring and uses his pro wrestling theatrics to represent himself and beat the evil WWE. The research for this film was hilarious because we got to watch hours and hours off old pro wrestling promos and matches. I was a co-writer and co-editor on this project.

2D Pants
About the Film.
This is a film I made during COVID right after graduating film school. It's an infomercial for the revolutionary product 2D-Pants. I reverse engineered real infomercials down to the last whoosh SFX and tacky unbranded shirt. I then convinced my entire family to be the cast. The GFX on this took forever but it was well worth it for the finished product. 2D Pants is probably the most well received short film I've ever made.
