Over the past year I shot & completed the short film Lilly Italy, which I am currently developing into a dramatic series. It follows the journey of a young woman searching for her adopted father, who was once a mob boss. He was placed in witness protection when she was a child and now the FBI is going to let her visit him for the first time. I directed the film & also play the FBI agent assigned to her case.

I am also in post-production for a short film I directed previously. Just Business was adapted from the stage production I also directed, and is a darkly comedic story of two men who meet on a park bench to discover neither are there for the reasons they thought. 

I was the lead in an independent feature film several years ago, Canyon Road, which can now by seen streaming on Tubi.

In October I will be co-hosting & performing in a Gothic-themed evening of staged readings from the plays of Don Nigro, whose Pendragon series tells stories of "passion & madness through three [or more] generations" (concordtheatricals.com)

Previous to quarantine, I could be seen on stage in my sixth year performing and directing in the annual festival PL.A.Y Noir, a collection of original one-acts inspired by the Film Noir genre. In the last run, I played over half a dozen characters between two pieces; from the overly-sexed femme fatale cliche, to the ditzy blonde, to the classic tough detective, showing a range with "more color than a rabid peacock" (nohoartsdistrict.com)
