About me
I've spent the last 5 years learning how to write, produce, and direct microbudget short films.
When I started my film education, I was writing big-budget feature films that I thought could get sold in Hollywood.
After a few years, I realized I had to stop waiting for funders to give me millions - I had to take things into my own hands.
This is when I discovered microbudget filmmaking. I learned how to write with a producer's hat on, so I know I'm only writing things that I can afford to make myself.
I started A Short A Month Productions with a group of filmmakers, and we've been creating films and learning together.
Now I offer my services so you don't have to spend years, and you don't have to make the mistakes I made along the way.
The best way to learn is by doing, and I can show you how to start making films, so you can learn by doing, quickly.
