Our pitch video for Through the Blinds, an anthology feature film.
From 1957 to 2019, seven diverse stories explore the complex themes of home, safety, and grief through women’s eyes in one American suburban house. We are actively seeking investment to film in 2024.
The Picnic, a 35 mm short film release on social media on 10/31/23.
Proof of concept scene for an upcoming project
Proof of concept for LIFE GOES ON, a feature film currently in development. This film follows three families as they navigate life and the pandemic. The project was inspired by me and my wife’s experience fostering an infant during the pandemic, though the Lillian-Jacob storyline is inspired by friends and neighbors’ experiences.
The Pantheon Ep. 3 “Feature Creep”
Ancient Greek gods running a modern tech company. Zeus has a plan for an insanely ambitious app but Hades knows that Aphrodite is the key to bringing it all crashing down.

Music video made in gratitude to the Black Trans vanguard of the LGBTQIA+ Rights Movement in the United States, this is our #NaionalComingOutDay offering for 2020. #BlackTransLivesMatter, today and every day.
Happy #ComingOutDay, Los Angeles! We've got a Freedom Song for you.
Inspired by Harry Belafonte's #CivilRights version of the spiritual “Michael Row The Boat Ashore,” The Queer Choir of K-Town came together on a shared-use street in Koreatown to record a DefundPolice version for L.A in 2020, with the election approaching.
In gratitude to the Black Trans vanguard of the LGBTQIA+ Rights Movement in the United States, this is our #NaionalComingOutDay offering. #BlackTransLivesMatter, today and every day.
And to Harry Belafonte, to the SNCC Freedom Singers, and the Freedom Riders of 1964, who knew the power of music as a tool for social change and movement building: thank you for your songs.
The Queer Choir of K-Town is made up of local #queer activists, a couple members of The Trans Chorus of Los Angeles, and one 78-year-old veteran Freedom Rider of Freedom Summer, 1964 (he wants you to vote!)
