writer's note

To give you a little background on myself, I've written, produced and acted in many projects for companies such as Funny or Die, 
The Aids HealthcareFoundation and Maker Studios. For the most part, all my past projects that I've had a hand in creating have been Comedy.

Recently I wrote my first dramatic narrative called GRIMSHAW. The project is about a man in his late 20's battling addiction to numb his pain from never knowing his father. This is the most meaningful piece I've ever created because it's based on my life. I lost my father at a very young age to alcohol and drug addiction...And it took me most of my life to heal from it. My hope is that others who've gone through something similar, can watch this film and allow themselves to heal, as well. 

Running time will be roughly 18 Mins.
