Snow Dreams

When snow melts, it takes the memories with it. But when it falls again, I’m six years old—climbing Mount Everest all over again.

Nothing

Feeling a little creatively bankrupt this week, so here’s my lament.

“The String” Chapter 1

Recently finished Wes Anderson’s filmography and wanted to give some of my favorite elements a try. Solo-shooting was strenuous, but gratifying.

Life of The Party

Lessons from today’s solo shoot: avoid bringing your ISO up to 8000 in dark light on an FX30 Super 35 sensor if you don’t want your footage to look like an arcade game from the 70s.

Yes I have two full-sized plastic skeletons.

A little one-day shoot a bunch of friends and I worked on together recently. The result: a fun warmup in horror. I’ll be releasing it on YT November 14th, 2025.

Life of a Pumpkin

Get off your phone and go enjoy a beautiful autumn. This was a little solo shoot with the ol’ FX30 and probably falls under the “Sam-O-Gram” umbrella, so I guess that makes this number two.

Big W this week! LAFS swept the student film category at Big Sandy!

Final batch of LAFS news… we have been accepted into The Big Sandy Film Festival and Twelve Lions Film Festival!

In celebration, I have finally released Josiah’s score on YouTube for your listening pleasure!

I had never expected this film’s journey to take three years to complete, but here we are. It’s a joy to give this project a proper send off, and I’m now incredibly excited for my the next stage of filmmaking. Big things coming soon!

The Duology Releases On YT Today. No One Was Supposed To Be Home & The Morning Joe; both emergency projects. Both shot on the fly for class. Both starring two fellas in conflict. Both shot at my house. What a blast— I am happy this era is complete.

I’m finally happy to announce the Love At First Sight is dropping on YouTube tonight! After a busy year of filmmaking and a little refining, I’m finally confident in the final product. I hope those who enjoyed it at last years #highbridgefilmfestival can re-experience that same whimsy and romance.

A final thank you to the cast and crew of this project. The creation of LAFS is one of the most cherished memories I currently hold. This film was made by my closest friends and family and I feel a deep sense of gratitude towards all those who contributed. Special thanks to Sam Curry, Josiah McKinney, John Teoh, and Tyler Chong for your dedication to your craft. Additional thanks to my leads Seth Huggard and Kate Santrock for sticking it through to the end. Blessings to you all!

Let’s go! My first Student Emmy nomination— surely such a prestigious award will change my life... Looks like I’m in good company though— way to show out Asbury!

Some BTS from arguably my favorite location we shot at for this film. Seth and Kate danced for about 7 hours straight as Tyler orbited around them strapped to a 50 million pound steadicam. Thank you to @limestonehall for the absolutely gorgeous space!

One last chance to be in the film!!! I’m excited we’re landing this plane soon. This is our second to last shoot, but we won’t need extras after this. We will have food (likely pizza)! Dress business casual (polo, nice jeans, khakis, skirt, summer dress, etc). Hope to see you there!

Here’s some BTS from our 4th LAFS shoot! What seemed like a simple dining scene got complicated quick. Shout out to my waiters— you guys killed moving that big table around!
