In a year full of memories, we closed out 2025 with one for a lifetime.

Both of our families were able to take part in a small civil ceremony. A perfect weekend of joy, celebration, and a small taste of things to come…

Thought post-Mother’s Day would be the perfect day for another BTS post from “My Mother’s Eyes” as we continue through post-production.

My deepest appreciation for this amazing production cast and crew. To quote Zach Cregger, “It’s my story, but it’s our movie.”

The first time I heard “Let’s Take Our Time” by Durand Jones & The Indications, I thought it sounded familiar…

That’s when I realized that they too must have been fans of the classic 90s Taiwanese television series “Justice Bao” and its amazing end credits song!

Can’t believe it’s been nearly two weeks since we wrapped principal photography on “My Mother’s Eyes.” Three months of pre-production work over in a flash.

Now as we move through post-production, I thought I’d share a few BTS photos of the fun to come.

My 1-page script “What Big Muscles You Have!” finishes as a Top 15 Honorable Mention in this year’s @killershortscontest.

This is my favorite annual horror screenplay competition, and the talent only grows with each year’s new round of submissions. Congrats to all the Finalists, and all my fellow Honorable Mentions!

KEEP WRITING!!! I know I will be… 🩸✍🏼

🚨 TRAILER DROP!!! 🚨

This is my first attempt at cutting a trailer for one of my films.

Does it show all the best parts? Yes.
Does it show parts that aren’t in the final cut? Yes.
Are those both pet peeves of mine? Absolutely.

But I had fun making it, and I think it nicely evokes the vibe of the film without giving away too much.

Premiering at the @poppyjasperiff in April

Starring @priyankaachandani @jmitchelllove @jason_konopisos @neersarina
