When he's not writing captivating pilots like his 2026 GSFF award-winning sci-fi thriller "Man Out of Time," which dominated Coverfly's prestigious Red List top 15 and placed in the top 10 of NBC's 2024 writer's program, or his gripping noir pilot "Blood Redd," which ranked in Coverfly's top 20%, he also directs emotionally resonant and thrilling films like Confession and For No One.
