I’m very excited to announce that from October 2023 to April 2024 I’ll be temporarily relocating to New Zealand! I’ll of course be back and forth to the US for work, but will be taking the opportunity for some travel and exploration (while conveniently escaping a northern hemisphere winter).  If you are located in NZ/AUS…

I met Brian and Rhythm when I was casting for my first short film, and immediately fell in love with their energy and the dynamic that they had between them.…

There’s something about being by water that brings a sense of comfort to me. Growing up on the east coast a stone’s throw from the Atlantic with summers spent on Cape Cod, my childhood frequently revolved around water based activities. From building sand castles at the beach to swimming at the pond, tubing the estuary…

Introducing the Fates family, a mythical mashup of the three fates and mother-maiden-crone lore, reimagined in the style of the Golden Girls. Combining my love of mythology and lore with 1980s nostalgia, this is a concept that’s been on my mind for a while now, and I was so excited to finally make it happen!…
