As Writer, he is working on a few projects in currently development. His recent feature script, Immaculate, won the Acclaim Screenplay Contest, and was a finalist in many other contests. He was a participant in the NY Film and Theatre Workshop in 2017.
During his AFI Directing Fellowship he wrote and directed the comedy short "...Missile Crisis," winning the $10,000 Martin Ritt Fellowship Award, and airing on HBO Latino. He also co-wrote a heist comedy, Playas from the Himalayas, optioned to Robert Townsend at Rebel Planet Films with producer Matthew Carpenter.
But he's mainly a Gaffer now, and if you like his IMDB credits you can go ahead and hire him if you want.
He might tell you some war stories.
