Over the years, I’ve played with different pieces …

How Stage 32 Was An Essential Tool For Making My Short Film!
My short film, Rematch was finally released this year, and I’m excited to share it with the world.

I don’t know how accurate it is, but I read that as many as 12,000 short films are produced each year. I assume the source of this number is festival …
