Project Summary

In 2017 I started a production company called Root and Branch Films. Since its inception, I have served as a writer on all six short films that the company has produced. They have spanned genres like thriller, drama, family, crime, and abstract. Several of them have garnered accolades from film festivals across the nation. Writing in this medium has been a rewarding challenge that I look forward to continuing as Root and Branch Films grows.
