​Best Screenplay – LA Crime & Horror Film Festival (2025)
Final Script Delivered. Industry Circulating.
I don’t write “gay stories.” I write thrillers where power seduces, love destroys, and fate never blinks. The fact that some of my leads are queer?
That just makes the stakes higher.
I'm not chasing trends. I’m redefining them.
Beautifully unstable narratives that linger long after the credits roll.
9-screenplay slate. 5 completed in 75 days. All killer. No filler.
The Full Story -
For every 12-year-old who ever wanted an EZ Bake Oven and got something heavy instead.
🔥 Logline
After a near-fatal car crash, a fading gay theater teacher relives the unresolved moments of his life—from trauma to tenderness—inside a surreal dreamscape where ghosts, God, and guilt all want the last word.

Chasing Truths is a deeply personal, emotionally stylized, semi-autobiographical magical realism drama.
Think All That Jazz meets The Whale meets Sunday in the Park with George — through a queer, Catholic, mid-century American lens.
It’s not about coming out.
It’s about being let go.
