Directing & Producing



I've been an independent filmmaker since 2013, beginning with short films for a local festival in Cheyenne Wyoming. Since those early films, I have grown tremendously as a person and a filmmaker. While studying acting at AMDA LA, I discovered my true love for the process of filmmaking, and since I have founded an entire production company, directed my own short film, and helped production on larger sets as well.

Nam Myoho Renge Kyo

is currently in festivals!


My first official short film is currently awaiting judgement from a multitude of festivals, most of which are based in the LA region.

Nam Myoho Renge Kyo is a 25 minute short film I wrote, directed and produce myself. I invite you to check out the teaser (on the left) and stay tuned with updates on my Instagram!
