One of my favorite creative and professional outlets within media production is writing, filming, directing, and editing films. I love to spend time developing my skills and techniques to bring my, and others, creative ideas to life. I began making small-scale cinematic pieces during my freshman year of college, and have continued to improve my creative ability through each new production.
First Peak Film Festival
Dust On The Lens – Best Cinematography, Audience Award
A clean-cut angelic baby-faced hero bravely faces off with a scruffy toothpick-wielding villain: two rocks, the circle of life. A graceful dance ensues between the two parties until the final shot ripples through the vast wilderness, granting one cowboy the prize of life. This short-form silent Western was written, directed, shot, and edited by myself and my close two close friends Jake Weisblatt, and Max Rose during our Sophomore year spring at Muhlenberg College. In November 2022, the film was accepted to Muhlenberg’s First Peak Film Festival and won Best Cinematography, and Audience Award.
The Dublin Pianist – Accepted to Festival
Following Javier Alcaraz, a busker from Spain, this short-form documentary shows how he tries to make a life for himself in Dublin, Ireland, doing what he loves most: playing the keys for all to hear. In the Spring of 2022, while I was studying abroad in Dublin, I worked closely with a local busker to make this film come to life. Over the course of about four months, during my studies at Dublin City University, our small production team ventured to Grafton street and the surrounding areas where Javier played, capturing his melodic sounds, and unforgettable stories.
