About Me
I am an independant filmmaker located out of the Chicago suburbs. I’ve always lived in the Chicagoland area and have always been obsessed with movies (So much so that one of my first jobs was to work guest services at a theater). I got my Bachelor’s Degree in film at DePaul University in 2026
I have worked in a plethora of Independent and Student Projects across the Chicagoland area, and have skills in all of Pre-Production, Production, & Post Production stages of film development, from writing scripts, to the cinematography, to editing the final cuts of films.
Projects
Intro to Getaways (Director of Photography/Cinematographer)
I was Director of Photography on this short film, and got to create shots and angles we planned out as well as set up the lighting for where I wanted it to be
Voyager III (Writer/Head Show Runner for Broadcasts)
I lead a team of ten to recreate a live broadcast using DePaul University’s broadcast booth, timing it to commercials and intros we made earlier. Because this was our chance to write something for the booth, I took a twist on a normal sketch broadcast, and wrote it as a direct message to Aliens
Lost and Found (Writer and Storyboard Artist)
While writing for a short film has it’s own process, writing an animated project takes it to a different level. It needs to be timed with the storyboards, and later adapted into the animation art itself
APT 1112 (Editor)
While I did not write this short, I was the editor behind it, and made deliberate choices to help elevate the meaning behind the film
This Rough Cut, displayed without the final Audio, demonstrates the power behind cuts and color in film
