My Work

Director

Melee (Short)

Coming Soon

Writer, Director, Producer

Budget: $2,500 

Welcome to Camp Oakwood!

          On a sunny day at a Christian summer camp, Amelia meets Sandy, a chaotic and bubbly fellow camper, who splashes her with water and questions her belief in God.

          Amelia is torn between her budding relationship with Sandy and her attraction to Garrett, an older lifeguard who is everything she thought she ever wanted. 

          Melee is a coming-of-age story about embracing our differences, self-acceptance and accepting that maybe - still being a kid is okay.

Assistant Director

As an assistant director, I bring communication, preparedness, and most importantly - a positive attitude to set. 

Addison Dephillip on set for Black as 1st Assistant Director

In the many projects I have worked on, I have learned the importance of being willing to collaborate, having an open dialogue when problems arise, and flexibility when changes are underway. I will always be an advocate for the health and safety of the crew, while welcoming creative risks for the filmmakers that I have the opportunity of working with.
