Alas! A short film inspired by my stupid nut allergy. Currently in the festival circuit.

Logline: When a man with a crippling needle phobia starts having an allergic reaction all alone at his grandma's house, he has two choices: face his biggest fear and stab himself with an epi pen, or die trying not to.

When the world went to shit in 2020, I channeled our collective pain and frustration and turned it into a 9-episode web series. If you’re strapped for time and want one episode that encapsulates the show and my 12-year-old sense of humor, check out episode 6.

Logline: When a global pandemic causes Sara and Sam to move in together after only a few dates, they're forced to get to know each other better and more intimately than they ever wanted to.
