FILM AWARDS NOMINATIONS
Selected festival laurels awarded.
My films have screened at festivals across America, Canada, India, Italy, Sweden & Portugal.
I am an auteur filmmaker. I operate in the spirit of DIY— the “Robert Rodriguez School of Filmmaking,” not beholden to any gatekeepers.
This means I helm several aspects of the production. All films listed below were written, directed, and edited by me.
My films have received 9 wins, 12 nominations, and 7 official selections to date.
