BEEN SO GOOD
short film | 11 minutes | writer/actor
When Jay runs into her Broadway-star-ex on the subway home after a catering gig, she's thrust into a knot of heartache, envy, and the challenge of feeling like an artist when it's not being rewarded by capitalism. Been So Good is a love letter to New York and to all the hustling artists the city holds.

M∀GICKY
short film | 16 minutes | writer/director/editor
Home team Salem College Coven prepares to host Cassadaga College Coven for the finals of the National Collegiate Witchcraft Competition. Perpetually-stressed film student Alicia just wants to make a documentary about these weirdos for her thesis, but betrayal, theft, and a deluge of bad blood threaten to turn the climactic ceremonial competition into a fiasco. M∀GICKY is a chaos-fueled, music-video-inspired mockumentary.
