Matches, my senior thesis film at Keene State, evolved into something much greater. I continued work on this project well beyond graduation & had a hand in everything from pre through post production, Writing, casting, story-boarding, location scouting, catering, directing, art department, editing, test screenings, and festival submissions.

I wrote, produced, directed and edited this short documentary. It was selected to screen at Keene State's prestigious film festival in May of 2011.

As lead Art Director, I met with director to discuss visual world of film. I went on location scouts, dressed the sets & created spaces in which the character existed. I was lead costumer on set and selected clothing which served as visual clues to each characters state of mind & identity.

I served as the Director of photography on this short film. I worked closely with the director and discussed the visual composition of each shot and how to successfully bring the director's visual to life.

I served as writer, director, assistant DOP and Editor on he 16mm short. I also assisted in casting and producing. this film was selected to screen at the KSC Film Festival of 2010, alongside other notable films.
