Read my previous post on Alyona's Eyes here. Alyona's Eyes has reached the editing phase. The Soviet-themed movie has come out to be roughly twenty minutes of intense footage. I have been working with the writer/director/editor (Christian Yonkers) to help him finish up the rough cut. He has truly impressed me with his quick editing... Continue Reading →
Traveling to China? My main tip: hit up the lingerie shops. If you're a woman, hit them up for yourself. If you're a man, be a true gentleman and go for the women in your life. The first draw to lingerie in China is its price. I was in Shenzen, China (a city on the... Continue Reading →

Last winter I needed to create an entry to a film festival for a class I was taking. In the cracks of my crazy schedule (I was finishing up Death at the Opera) I found time to create this short film for a festival I had found online. I called six of my friends into... Continue Reading →
Death at the opera was my baby last year. I did a bunch of work before actually writing it out: developing characters and backstories, thinking through how I wanted to structure the script, and just generally working on creating a really strong story.
