Hello! I’m an award winning filmmaker, animator and illustrator based in Brooklyn, New York.

With over a decade of freelance experience, I’ve worked as a 2D animator and director for clients such as Pokémon, the NBA, 2 Chainz, Eminem & Snoop Dogg, Netflix, Showtime, Disney and the X-Games. In addition, my short films have played at a variety of prestigious festivals, illustrations have been both published and featured in prominent gallery exhibitions and I’ve served on several film festival juries.

Recently my film Buzzkill screened at over 60 festivals, winning 12 awards including Best Animated Short at Screamfest, Flicker's RIIFF Vortex, GenreBlast and Woodstock - the latter resulting in an Academy Award qualification. It’s now streaming on Alter and as a Vimeo Staff Pick.

These days I’m available for remote work from my home studio, which includes a large Cintiq, Adobe’s Creative Suite, a grumpy cat and all the necessary file sharing and communication tools.

I'm back with your weekly Buzzkill news update! Today I’m announcing….we’re at GenreBlast '22!

Honored to be included at one of the top genre festivals in the US, which spotlights new and exciting cult, underground and niche cinema from around the world.

On a personal note, this will also be Buzzkill's first screening at an Alamo Drafthouse, my favorite theater chain! I can't think of a better venue to grab a beer and watch some weird & wild content. It's a match made in heaven (or hell)
