As Writer/Director, I have created award-winning independent films. My debut feature film 12 And More Omissions premiered in 2024 at Anthology Film Archives in New York City and was referred to as "a tough jewel of indie cinema" by American independent filmmaker Andrew Bujalski and as a "spectacular feature debut" by longtime Margarette Von Trotta screenwriter Pamela Katz. Previously, my 2019 short A Grim Reaping won awards in multiple categories at the 2019 Commonwealth Film Festival in Boston. I am currently in post-production on my forthcoming feature film 3 Days.
