Unhinged
Unhinged is a mock horror television show created by me, and this specific video is it's title sequence. It features the use of practical effects and demonstrates my ability to edit as well as use props, costumes, makeup, and even demonstrate the use of camera framing.
This project was done with a group of friends, and the music itself was created by a friend of mine who I worked with on a horror podcast. I did research into different symbols and wanted to make something more on the eerie side and this was my first time doing it.
Cold Case - Short Film
Cold Case is a short film written by me. It is a thriller/mystery about a girl's missing best friend, and a detective who's hit rock bottom. When the girl asks him to help her find her missing friend, reluctantly, the detective agrees. Can they find the girl and can the detective clear his name?
My favorite thing about this project is that it was my first time using fake blood on my face, and I wanted to go the distance by learning sfx makeup like fake bruises.

Paradigm Horror - Podcast
"What Happens To The Average Man When They Are Constantly Surrounded By Violence And Injustice? Apparently Indifference. Face The Trials Of This Guard's Final Days As He Contemplates Family, Justice And Mortality."
Paradigm was my favorite project done during my freshman year of college. My friend had reached out to me knowing my love for all things film and media. Which I excitedly agreed to do.
I had written the entirety of Season 1, Episode 3: The Guard. It really is a different feeling to see your work on different platforms.
