We picked Atlas Orion anamorphic primes for a more modern look and blue flares to further the vision for a futuristic feeling short film. This short was my largest project as a D.P. so far, I also worked as a VFX compositor and artist.

FAVS 255
In Fall 2022, I took FAVS 255 with Justin Plakas @ GMU. In groups of four, we made these two short films which I directed:
Both shorts were shot on Blackmagic 4K & 6K cinema cameras and primarily, the Sigma Arts 18-35mm F/1.8 Lens.
During production of both films, I got more exposed to film editing, sound mixing, ADR, and foley. Particularly, in They Watch, it was the first time I attempted to create a cinematic experience with sound.
Here are the screenplays for both of those stories:
They Watch - 5th Draft.pdfFocuzed Revision 1.pdfMusic Videos
I love music videos because of how much you can do with them, some choose to create a story that goes with the music, others focus on visuals of the musical performance.
My first attempt at making a music video. Shot in two days in Richmond and Williamsburg, VA. Has yet to be fully color graded.

Donate Bot
Donate Bot was the first donation platform for Discord, which I sold to Medal in 2019. It went on to produce over sixteen million USD in revenue for its users.
XPLOR
In 2021, I began working on a new university life app, XPLOR, which is set to release in the fall of 2023, beginning exclusively at George Mason University.
My Class Rewards
My senior year of high school @ Warhill HS in Williamsburg, Virginia, I built a competitor to pricy online class rewards systems which encourge positive behavior along with Zakeri Reckmeyer. It went on to win the Congressional App Challenge in the 2nd District of Virginia.
