Filmmaker Statement

"There's Something in the Silence" is a proof of concept horror short for a feature film I’ve been developing with my co-producer, Mike Lewis. It was difficult organizing covid-safe productions in 2020, so I put together a small-scale shoot that would allow us to make the horror feel big... while still managing to fit inside my small NYC apartment. I cast my fiancé (now wife) Chelsea Camp as the lead-- and Laura Frenzer, who we remotely zoomed with to film her role. This was entirely a one-man-band production where I wore all the production hats, and Chelsea had to put up with me bugging her to film for two months up until our wedding day in November (she got a haircut that put an end to my “pick-up” shoots). This was a big step forward in our filmmaking journeys and we're very excited to share the final product with you.
