I am a filmmaker, writer and director with the ambition of changing the trajectory of the film industry in the age of sequels and reboots. I have begun working in the industry as of July 2024, and have been on multiple short film sets, commercials and music videos in collaboration with various creators, including but not limited to; Prince Sprauve, New York Film Academy and the Seat Center of Schenectady New York. I am also a founding member of an upcoming Film and Production company known as "Jammin Productions."
