None of this is luck. None of this is coincidence. Every accomplishment is the result of prayer, hard work, and staying committed to the craft. Period.

Be still. Stay focused. Find inspiration in every step.

I’m excited to share that L.I.T. (Lost in Transition) has been selected for the 2026–27 Saul Zaentz Innovation Fund cohort! 🎬

I spend so much time building @blackvinenet and the business behind the work with the team (hey Sierra & Jaemii🫶🏿), but at my core, I’m still a filmmaker. A storyteller first.

Later this month, I’ll be taking L.I.T. into StoryLab to develop the project alongside industry advisors and a mentor. Grateful to the Saul Zaentz Innovation Fund team and Annette Porter for creating space for filmmakers to grow.✍🏾

DMViFF turns 18. 🎬

Eighteen years ago, the DMV International Film Festival started with a simple belief: filmmakers deserve a place where their work can be seen, their voices can be heard, and their stories can find an audience.

A lot can happen in 18 years. The industry changes. Technology changes. Filmmakers change. Life changes. And sometimes, the most responsible thing you can do with something you love is give it room to evolve.

We took that room.

Now DMViFF is returning with a renewed vision, a new partnership with Black Vine Network, and the same commitment that started all of this in 2009: make space for filmmakers.

On April 17–18, 2027, we’re coming back to the theater for our 18th anniversary year, curating a full weekend of films from the DMV, across the country, and around the world.

And we’re opening the door wide.

Submissions are completely FREE. No submission fee. No paywall between your film and our programming team. We want to see the work.

Features. Shorts. Documentaries. Narratives. Experimental work. Stories from established filmmakers and stories from somebody brave enough to call themselves a filmmaker for the first time.

If you made something you believe deserves a screen, send it.

Some things are just black and white.

The first official images from THE BUFFER.

A project I wrote and directed (brought to life by @blackvinenet), with the support of the @pgahc and the @mdartscouncil. I’m incredibly grateful to both for granting this project and believing in the work.

And a very special shoutout to my producer @arad_cinemaguy.

(I’ll get into the magic this man somehow pulled off in two days once we have the final cut. 😂)
Specifically thank you to ALL the cast and crew that made this project possible and production effortlessly smooth.

THE BUFFER is coming. #pgcountymd

Something ambitious.

Something homegrown.

Something a little dangerous.

Maybe even something epic.

I am incredibly proud of what we are building.

A very special thank you to @mdartscouncil and @pgahc for investing in artists, original storytelling and the possibility of work like this being created here at home. Your support matters. It creates the space for ideas to move beyond the page and become something real.

And to our cast, crew, collaborators, families and everyone who has helped THE BUFFER get this far: this belongs to you too.

THE BUFFER.
Prince George’s County, Maryland.
2026.

These are only the first few frames.

Wait until you see what we actually made.

“Three Sisters” follows the story of Nasha, Tala, and Maika, who set out on a perilous journey to rescue their brothers from a rival tribe. Guided by the mysterious Midewinini, they paddle across the treacherous Potomac River. Tragedy strikes, and their sacrifice transforms them into rocky islets. In the present day, their legacy intertwines with the lives of Lexi, a nail technician, and Kiyomi, a high school teacher, as they confront an ancient entity and seek redemption.

This is a Native American folklore horror film, and we prefer Native American talent or talent with Native American heritage. Roles Available:
