Independent filmmaking from the Midwest outward.

Filmography

Films

Independent features developed across a decade of production, financing, operational leadership, and independent distribution.

My work in film has primarily centered around independent feature production — helping projects move from development into completed, distributable work through a combination of creative collaboration, operational structure, financing coordination, and long-term problem solving.

Over the years, I’ve worked across multiple genres and production scales, often balancing the realities of independent filmmaking with the need to preserve atmosphere, identity, and momentum under difficult conditions.

The projects below represent different phases of that evolution.

A Social Contract poster

A Social Contract

A contained political thriller centered around a Fourth of July dinner that descends into paranoia, moral collapse, and survival as guests compete for limited evacuation seats during an impending nuclear crisis. Built around tension, performance, and ideological pressure, the project reflects many of the themes that continue to interest me most — systems under stress, fragile social structures, and the psychology of self-preservation.

On the Work

Independent filmmaking rarely follows a clean path.

Every production becomes its own combination of problem solving, adaptation, collaboration, compromise, and persistence — often requiring far more operational endurance than most audiences ever see.

That process continues to shape how I think about producing today.
