I'm a writer, director and producer from Philly. generally speaking, my films explore unexpected intersections of black life. they bridge the comedic, off-putting, serious and sentimental, and center communities i love.
my films have screened at festivals including San Francisco International Film Festival, New Orleans Film Festival, Cleveland International Film Festival, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Shorts México, where i received a special jury mention for short doc MEN WHO TALK. i’m currently touring my short film BLACK MAGIC, which was nominated for the Enderby Entertainment Award at the 2023 Austin Film Festival. i was also named a 2024 top screenwriter to watch by Austin Film Festival and MovieMaker magazine.
I hold a BA in English Lit from the University of Rochester, an MSEd from the UPENN Grad School of Education, and an MFA in Film Production from UT Austin. i’m also a proud member of brown girls doc mafia and the beautiful project.
