Sample Narrative Projects

Back to other portfolios.

Blood on the Leaves

Blood on the Leaves is a feature-length narrative survival drama filmed entirely in Pennsylvania. I worked as the co-producer and assistant director, mostly taking care of hiring crew and making sure we finished a 1h 30m feature film in 12 intense days. I also edited the teasers and am working on the theatrical distribution.

Broken Down - 48 Hour Film Project

Broken Down is a short film made for the 2012 Pittsburgh 48 Hour Film Project. The challenge of directing a film in this short of a period of time was an eye opening experience and the I had the pleasure of working with a fantastic team.

"Two young thieves steal a white collar worker's car and realize they've gotten more than they bargained for. The extra baggage leaves them questioning their own relationship."

Uncontrolled Short Film

Uncontrolled in an expressionistic short film to the tune of some of my favorite classical music. The film was my first full project and took much too long to complete; but I was learning after-all. Although crew switched around over the course of production, the main portion of the film was made by a film collaborative I was part of called Ice Burgh Films.

"Daniel questions his sanity while locked in a psych ward. He copes melancholicly with the flashbacks of the murders that landed him in this place."
