ANIMATION REEL
ABOUT ME
Hi! I'm an animator, illustrator, and filmmaker based out of Brooklyn, NY. I graduated with a major in Film from Northwestern University in 2018, and am in the the midst of production on my thesis film as part of a Masters of Fine Arts in Animation at DePaul University. I currently work as an animator for Cook County Health.
I completed Duet, an animated short film, in Spring 2021. I have been amazed by the reception to the film, as Duet has been screened at over 25 festivals and counting! Duet has won awards at Film Crash, The Garden State Film Festival, and The San Antonio Film Festival. The film has also been screened at RiverRun International Film Festival as well as the IndyShorts Film Festival - both Oscar Qualifying festivals.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, cheering on the New York Yankees, and making music with my band, The Scary Part.
DUET
When a timid cat is adopted by an elderly pianist, he learns to express himself and connect with his family through the language of music.
Here is a trailer for the film!
Duet was written up in the New York Times in advance of the NY Cat and Dog Film Festivals! Read about Duet, and the festival, here:
