"The Last Slice" ([2:00])

Freelance, 2025

"The Last Slice" (short comedy) Two boys. One slice of pizza. No mercy. "The Last Slice" is a short comedy about a simple but universal dilemma: who gets the last piece? What starts as a friendly debate quickly spirals into an over-the-top standoff full of mind games, moral arguments, and melted cheese. I wrote, directed and edited the film.

"Twilight Gnomeo"-Original Comedy Short Play

HHS Instant Theater Festival, (2025)

A comedic One Act play, about a traveling Garden Gnome salesman whose life unravels when he enters a small town where the word "no" is outlawed. The play explores the human need to say "no" in a world that only wants to say "yes."

I created this script for a flash theater production challenging to students write, direct and produce short plays in five days. I was the only writer and served as co-director with a partner.

"The Bush: A Hedge Meance" ([2:30])

Freelance, (2025)

"The Bush" is a comedy short about a eccentric man who hides in a shrub bush, ambushing unsuspecting teens in the park at night. Developed through unscripted performance and collaborative storytelling, allowing the actors to shape scenes spontaneously. I developed and directed this film, shot entirely outdoors at night.

"A Second Chance"

Freelance, (2024, 2025)

Five teenagers wake up in a locked room and discover they're dead. To return to life, they must vote for one among them to get a second chance - forcing brutal honesty, unexpected compassion, and one heartbreaking truth about how one boy's overdose changed them all. I wrote this screenplay and is a current submission to Slam Dance 2025.

"Stage Fright"

Published Short Story: HUNTED: A Trail of Words (2024)

"Stage Fright" is a short story mystery featuring an opera singer who takes the stage on opening night to shock the audience not with aurias but with her arrest.

This piece was published in Young Writers: SOS sagas for the series HUNTED: A trail of Words; edited by Wendy Laws.
