A dark and twistedly comedic tale of two lovers who embark on a series of violent events that all take place over the course of one night.

This short film is a proof of concept pilot for a horror-dark comedy anthology series of the same name, "Dark Tales", I have in the works.

The film has garnered lots of praise; winning in 8 categories at "Indie Short Fest" including:

"Best Dark Comedy Short"

As well, has screened at the Chinese Theatres in Hollywood for "SCREAMFEST" along with screenings in other major cities such as, Las Vegas, Nevada and Austin, Texas.

It had been given the great honor of being awarded:

"Short Film Of The Day"

By "Shorted" Films.

Featured on the "SCREAMFEST" youtube channel with thousands views and counting.

REVIEWS:

'Dark Tales' eventually offers a single night in the life of a couple, both inadvertently competing with each other in their twisted, misguided ideas of fun, enjoyment, and a distorted philosophy they have borrowed from a religious vocabulary. It is indeed an unexpected ride, but one that will stay with you long after it is over- Shorted Films

" ...there is something in it that will melt your heart. I love this short film! I found myself smiling from start to finish. It is very light but funny and enjoyable. This is an interesting short film and many people can relate to the story."

Today is Rosh Hashanah. A Rabbi and his student visit a hospital to blow the Shofar, a ram's-horn used in religious ceremonies, for bed-ridden Jewish patients.

"Emunah" is the second short film I've written/directed/produced. This one hits close to home and is heavily inspired by true events. I hope you enjoy!

My directorial debut, Real Talk (Reel Language). This is my first short film. It was written/produced/directed by myself, and it was designed as a comedy sketch. The film is set in an Italian restaurant as we enter in on a first date that suggests a much more "REAL" reality than we are used to.

Team Death Punch exploring: Lake Powell, The Wave, Lower Calf Creek Falls, Buckskin Gulch, Devil's Garden, Devil's Backbone, Bryce Canyon, Goblin Valley, Paw Hole.

I make an appearance in this beautifully crafted drone film of footage taken during a breathtaking adventure I was blessed enough to be part of.
