My short film, and debut as a narrative director, “Mom” is finally complete. This film is about parental sacrifice, and is a silent thank you to women and mothers.
.
We filmed in late November 2025 in Catonsville, Maryland.
.
I had the extreme pleasure of working with the best damn crew around, and I cannot thank them enough for their dedication and professionalism. Film is truly the most collaborative form of artistic expression, and for an extrovert like me, it is a dream come true.
.
I am currently in the process of submitting to film festivals all around the world, so I will keep everyone posted as to the status. I hope to get into at least one local festival which would serve as the premier for cast, crew, friends, and family.
.
Many thanks. I love you all. Cheers.

Doing some camera tests for our opening tracking shot. When writing this script, Maryse Alberti’s tracking shots following Mickey Rourke were in my head. So naturally we gotta do some shoulder rig tests.
