Short Bio: I grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico where I experienced firsthand much of the social clashes that happen every day in this country. My biological parents divorced when I was five. My mother came out as gay, while my father came out as a bigot. The following years were filled with awkward attempts at conservative brainwashing on one side and navigating the dynamic of being raised by two mothers on the other. Those events, along with extensive anxiety throughout my teenage years, inform my work now. My main goal now is to create work that satisfies the escapism I constantly felt in need of when I was with my father, while also conveying the relief of home my mothers gave me.
Short Artist Statement: Comedies, Dramas, coming-of-age, stories with fantastical twists - sci-fi, fantasy, superhero/comic book related. I like writing about people struggling with anxiety, depression, isolation, and a need for escape, as I know all of these feelings well.
Logline #1: STAR EATER - Feature - An awkward high school student struggles with gaining friends and controlling his overwhelming superpowers that are tied to his social anxiety, while a washed-up superhero attempts to mentor him down the wrong path and create a new supervillain to defeat.
Logline #2: UNTITLED GHOST STORY - Feature - After a harsh breakup, a depressed man moves into his new apartment with express intent to kill himself, until a group of ghosts haunting the residence stop him because they can’t spare the space of having another spectral roommate.
Logline #3: UNDELIVERED - Feature - A group of employees steal money from their work at a national pizza chain in order to survive in their daily lives.
Name three movies or TV shows that inspire you: Community, Cowboy Bebop, Snowpiercer (movie)
