Updating my music video director reel is not as exciting I feel in the state of everything and A.I. but here we are.
Here is a very low attempt to update, more so just add to my existing one to extend the portfolio. Anyhow happy hunting out there other creative friends, hopefully we all can pull creative projects and stay in this a tad longer.
A few horror shorts snippets from my projects. Eyeballing more narrative as always ✨

We are trying to make a short with some funds for once and not in my living room! Our projects are usually a team of one per department with limited/no resources. We are trying to change that for the next one to support everyone’s skills, time and showcase the talents that very much deserve support.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated, to push i am raffling off 5 Camp Snap Cameras to help the fundraiser!X2 Camp Snap 8 video cameras, x2 camp snap photography cameras, and a camp snap original v105
Link to raffle is in my linktree via my bio!
Ends May 1st with winners announced.

3 short films officially acquired to 3 different anthology movies! Great work friends for making silly shorts with me and hopefully this will give some more life to the work we all put in these. Great news to wrap up the year and here’s to hopefully getting one of my features off the ground in the new year 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Happy Halloween! Here’s a little tease of the short some friends and I got together to make last week. From page to camera within 48hrs. A very scrappy production and a lot of fun hanging for the day making movies with my talented friends. Very lucky to have people down to clown on my silly chaotic projects.

A miniature artist is commissioned to recreate a gruesome crime scene for the local police departments homicide department, unknowingly opening the doors for an evil entity 🏠️🩸.

A Statement From The Filmmaker:
I've always been fascinated by the idea that objects—trinkets, possessions, forgotten relics, can act as vessels between worlds. That something as innocent as a keepsake might harbor a presence, a memory, or an energy so strong it can bridge the gap between the mundane and the malevolent. I wanted to explore what happens when someone unknowingly opens that door. Through meticulous recreations of brutal crime scenes, becomes an unintentional conduit for something much darker. These crime scenes weren’t just remnants of violence, they were rituals, each leaving behind a symbolic key used by a cult to summon something evil.
This is my invitation for the audience to quickly witness the unraveling, the moment when obsession crosses into invocation, and the line between craft and curse disappears.
