DOPPELGANGER AT LA SHORTS!

This was my first Oscar-qualified festival! It was great to share my film with a very supportive crowd and connect with friends and filmmakers. It still blows my mind that all of this happened because of an idea. The only difference is that I took action!

I've directed a PLAY!

As a director unit member at the Actors Studio, I had a pleasure in directing a 30 min scene from a play โ€œAppropriateโ€ by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins (which btw premiered on Broadway last year.) It was a challenge to direct 7 (!) actors and not to lose humor in a very heavy play. But I welcomed that challenge as Iโ€™ve learnt so much from the process and collaboration with such talented actors.
