Filmography
I started out my career in documentary filmmaking through Red Van Studio (https://redvan.studio). But at BTKO Films my focus is on fiction. This is a small showcase of my fiction work in screenwriting, directing, and cinematography.
I'm currently in pre-production on one short film and completing two feature scripts which I hope to add to the roster soon.
Short films written & directed:
- Emily (drama)
- Adok (action)
Short films written:
- Final Frame (drama)
Features written:
- Final Frame (drama)
- Alpha Proxima (sci-fi)
- The Last Priest (horror)
- Baba Yaga (horror)
Emily ䷉
Emily (IMDB) was my first crack at short filmmaking. I'd spent a couple years making documentaries and finally has some inspiration to try writing and directing my own short. It's based off of a short story I wrote years ago about myself and a friend going down a flooded stream together.
I had a budget of about $3,000 and a group of hugely helpful and dedicated friends who wanted to be involved! We spent two nights out at a cabin in the woods and filmed as much as we could.
Later, I sent it to some festivals with little success, but I learned so much from actually getting out there and making it. I hope you enjoy.
