Former New Yorker now living in Mexico City.
I write stories about outsiders caught between real and imagined horrors.
Recent honors from Academy Award qualifying festivals and the horror community have led to feature film writing assignments. My writings on art and culture have been published in Visionaire Magazine, Hatje Cantz and Encyclopedia Britannica.
My screenplays have earned accolades from HollyShorts, Raindance, Cinequest, Shore Scripts and Austin Film Festivals. On the genre circuit, I've won top prize at FilmQuest, HorrorHaus, VHS, Nightmares and HorrOrigins as well as SF IndieFest and WritersXWriters.
GLOVES made Coverfly's 2022 LIST OF LISTS as one of the 10 Most Downloaded Projects out of 100,000 screenplays. My horror short GRAVEN received the Vortex Award at the Oscar-qualifying Flickers' RIIFF. My queer, dark drama/horror short films BATH BOMB and GUMMIES are currently hitting 2024 film festivals.
