I'm a filmmaker based in Los Angeles, originally from Sacramento. Growing up with family across Europe, I was exposed early to different perspectives on storytelling, which broadened my sense of what film could be. That interest eventually led me to NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, where I came to see filmmaking not just as a craft, but as a way of understanding the world.
At Tisch, I studied both the technical discipline of production and the bigger questions of what it means to create art with intention. I gravitated toward movements like the French New Wave and Italian Neorealism, whose influence still guides how I think about approach, story, and structure today.
A recent film of mine, Me, Myself & AI, is a character-driven sci-fi drama that explores artificial intelligence, class privilege, and self-delusion. It has traveled the international festival circuit, with wins including Best Director and Best International Short Film and official selection at 15 festivals.
As a director, I'm drawn to stories about power, isolation, and people on the edge. My sets are collaborative, focused, and visually intentional, whether I'm working in narrative or branded work. I'm always chasing stories that feel strange and unsettling, grounded yet slightly off balance, and that ask more questions than they answer.
Through my production company, Lyonshare Pictures, I'm currently developing Red Bloom, a sci-fi horror short and proof-of-concept for a feature about isolation, belief, and the collapse of a utopian colony, alongside new narrative and commercial projects.
