SHORT FILMS
I've directed half-a-dozen short films over the years, which have played at hundreds of festivals, on TV and even airplanes. Here's a trailor for my most recent horror short film LAY THEM STRAIGHT which won 25 awards and played at top genre festivals like Sitges, Screamfest LA and the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival.
A teenage girl battling obsessive compulsive disorder has to run the gamut of school bullies every day, until a traumatic event convinces her that her disorder may be an indication of supernatural powers.
