We think it is VERY important to teach kids how to handle bullying when it comes your way! In this extremely serious, very informative ad - we educate…on the importance of getting your eyes checked. 

Please enjoy this ridiculous spec commercial that our team poured their hearts into. And remember - what do we say to bullies? —--that’s exactly right.

BRIDAL SUITE

WRITER | DIRECTOR | ACTOR

A bride mid-meltdown, an unhinged wedding party, and a wedding date with a very full bladder all cross paths in the Bridal Suite bathroom.

We shot BRIDAL SUITE on 16mm Eastman Kodak Company film for the Atlanta Film Festival 100 ft of Film competition in one day. In order to shoot with the limitations of 100 ft of film we rehearsed and filmed the whole first part of the day digitally. We made adjustments through playback and dialing everything from blocking to camera movement so when it was time to go to film we.were.ready. Such fun.

MERKINTILE

WRITER | PRODUCER | ACTOR

A mockumentary sketch about a high-fashion merkin brand and the bizarre women behind it.

We are just VERY passionate about elevating merkins, okay? The majority of the dialogue in this film was improvised. We treated shooting like you would a real docu-series episode. You can imagine the blooper-reel. Such fun.

Narrative | Short Film

Brandon thinks he has found the girl of his dreams until he catches her red-handed…literally.

HIT played at Hollyshorts, Atlanta Film Festival, Breckenridge, Portland Comedy Festival, Femme Film Friday and was nominated for Best New Director at ATLFF.

Commercial | Production Company: Banter

Treat Yourself to the Real Thing

Mid-pandemic, my creative partner Taylor and I wanted to challenge ourselves to write, shoot, and edit a comedy spec series for commercial production company, Banter. The approach: a covid-safe environment without any other crew. The message: imagining the day we could all leave our houses again and actually go on vacation. Treat yourself to these silly spots…and then go to Maui, Gary! I know you are reading this, Gary!!

THE SAY

WRITER | ACTOR

Narrative | Web-series

It’s like “The View” but gone straight to hell.

Developed from our beloved late night live-comedy show as SAY UNCLE (award-winning all-women troupe). The wacky, unhinged sketch-series has been called “unbearable”, “insane” and “%$#@&!”

PSA | Short Film | Austin Animal Center

Finding a pet shouldn’t be this awkward. At Austin Animal Center, we’ve got you covered.

As passionate animal-lovers, my creative partner Katie and I wanted to do something helpful for the no-kill shelter, Austin Animal Center. We met with the marketing team and developed a quirky, fun short film that would re-direct viewer to adoption and away from shopping.
