The Stage 32 Videos: Writer

I’m thrilled to share my 2024 Director’s Reel, set to ‘Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress.’ I’ve put together a collection of my favorite shots, bringing my screenplays to life with gritty showdowns, wild escapes, and a touch of dark humor. Inspired by real-life experiences and influenced by the greats like the Coen Brothers and Tarantino, I aimed to capture the raw essence of cinema—bold, visceral, and unapologetically cool. Enjoy!
