I tell stories that are evil with a heart:
dark with a glimmer of hope.
My Hollywood adventure sparked when Oprah Winfrey produced my screenplay THE WATER MAN, a magical realism tale which debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2020 and found a home on Netflix, earning a Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. My directorial work includes the award-winning, hybrid live-action/virtual production short film, LIFE RENDERED, acclaimed at the Tribeca Film Festival and beyond.
As a screenwriter, I've penned stories for legends like Steven Spielberg and Ava DuVernay, and have collaborated with top studios such as Netflix and Disney. Featured in Forbes 30 Under 30. I've also been a speaker at SXSW, Tribeca, and Epic Games' Unreal Fest, delving into the future of filmmaking and storytelling innovation
Diving deeper into narrative exploration, my work to build the fantasy jungle-punk realm Azurbala expands the horizons of world-building, blending traditional storytelling with the boundless possibilities of an internet-native IP.
