Officially wrapped my first feature film as a director. What a ride. Couldn't have done it without our incredible cast and crew. I'm honestly blown away by what we were all able to achieve in 18 days. Can't wait to share Remnant with the world! Stay tuned!

Exactly one year ago my team and I began fundraising for our horror feature, Remnant. We faced setback after setback, but we never gave up. Now, after securing nearly $2M we're finally going to camera. My feature directorial debut. If you watch for the signals, dreams really can come true.

Remnant Pre-Production Day 3 - Getting into my car after a wildly successful afternoon of scouting my first thought was, "If I get to do this for the rest of my life, I'm the luckiest guy in the world."

First official work day of 2026 and I couldn't be happier getting to prep my directorial debut. Perhaps the most important thing you can do as a director/producer is hire the right people. This applies to both cast and crew -- and I consider myself extremely lucky to work with this top-tier group.

Always, and that feeling that it may fall apart at any moment never really goes away -- though I'm confident enough in our position to now be talking about things. I'll dive more into how it all came together soon! Thanks for subscribing!
