I'm a writer-director based in Los Angeles and the founder of Cleo-Gloria Pictures, a SAG-AFTRA signatory production company.
I grew up in Oakland and studied creative writing at San Francisco State University before moving to LA to make films. My work is first-person and tender towards its characters. I'm drawn to characters who want things they're not suppose to want, and to the parts of desire, power, and self-image that most films tidy up before showing you. What interests me is the interior version of a story: not what it looks like from the outside, but what it actually feels like to be inside it.
My most recent film, Unicorn's Dilemma, is a proof of concept for my first feature. I financed it through a crowdfunding campaign backed by more then 75 people, shot it under a SAG-AFTRA agreement, and completed it in Spring 2026. It's now an official selection at Visionaries Film Festival and The Great Film Club's Open Mic Night. I've also published essays in Talkhouse and GO Magazine.
I'm currently developing the feature version of Unicorn's Dilemma alongside a slate of projects at Cleo-Gloria Pictures.
