POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

It’s absolutely insane seeing the words I started to write back in 2023 coming to life on a monitor in the middle of the California desert 🫣

I am so incredibly grateful for this team for being on this project and making these days possible: the last 2 weeks have been surreal!! We are 40 pages/92 into our raunchy zombie comedy.

Thank you to everyone for being a part of this story!! Excited for our final production days coming up and for seeing this project come together 🫶🫶🫶

A year ago yesterday (09/14/25), we had our last official shoot day for WHERE WE FIT IN.
It was honestly some of the best times with some of the greatest people we could have asked for. Each day on set was no easy task, jam-packed with many scenes, but everyone did an amazing job even with all the limitations.
I truly enjoyed getting to see and hang out with everyone daily, watching how they took on each challenge day by day. I am proud to have worked with all of you.
We are now working on the release. I can’t wait to see all of you together again.

(Full Trailer in Bio)

Here is the official trailer for "Brothered", a surreal comedy based on my experiences growing up with my brother. This has been in the works since the beginning of the year, but a concept I've had in mind before I ever wrote a single script. It is this story that pushed me to pursue screenwriting, and I'm excited to finally put it out.

My goal with this project is to bring laughter into the world of mental disabilities, instead of keeping it in a glass box. I believe laughter is the ultimate form of acceptance, and this show aims to put that on full display.

A special thank you to Matthew and Angelina Quint for making this possible, and putting their faith in me.

Were you looking for a good Young Adult story? Well, if you like them as much as I do, this one is going to charm you because @app.shorts and @fumero.films, as always, are all about delivering projects with WAY TOO MUCH QUALITY.

This show touched on very interesting and well-developed topics, such as Chase’s dyslexia and little Henry’s autism (Peyton’s younger brother). This makes everything feel close and allows you to connect with the characters.

The work done by Kate and Ben was, in my opinion, charming and more than successful. I always say that it’s essential to empathize with the protagonists for me to like a project, and thanks to them I loved Peyton and Chase, no doubt about it.

The chemistry between them is very natural, which allowed me to believe in the relationship that slowly developed between them. While I didn’t like Chase’s attitude when the scandal happened, I do feel it was right that they managed to reconcile in the end.

I don’t want to forget to mention that the mean kids: Audrey, Brock, and Noel really gave me a headache hahaha, but that only means Morgan, Spencer, and Emel shone in their roles. The awful father Bo gave us is also worth highlighting.

The villains are very well acted. What I liked most is that they weren’t caricatured and didn’t need to do bloody things to be despicable. This clearly works because the story supports them.

There’s also Nicky, Peyton’s cousin who always worries about and protects her. Brandon’s performance really made me feel tenderness. On the other hand, Trey, played by Tom, was a gray character who ultimately did the right thing and managed to fix his relationship with his brother Chase.

Avis as Gail, Peyton’s mother, was wonderful. She truly reflected that strength we see in our own mothers, who give everything for their children despite all the problems that arise.

Anyway, to not make this too long, I totally recommend this show. It has comedic touches, real family stories, and emotional scenes.

Great job and congratulations to the entire team!

LESSONS IN LOVE & HATE (@app.shorts 2026)

“Is this okay?”

Aaahhh. 💛🥹

That tiny moment told me everything I needed to know about this vertical drama.

Because this story understands something some romances tend to forget: respect can be just as swoon-worthy as chemistry.

Consent.
Learning differences.
Privacy.

Instead of brushing past real issues, this drama makes them matter. It beautifully explores Chase navigating his learning disability. It treats a devastating invasion of privacy with the heavy, cruel weight it actually deserves rather than using it as cheap, juicy gossip.

@kkatelyn_rose and @ben.armstrongg made me care about these characters so much. Their chemistry feels natural, sweet, awkward, frustrating, and vulnerable in all the right ways. I found myself smiling during the softer moments and quietly rooting for them long before either of them were ready to admit their feelings.

I also want to say it out there… THE CREDITSSSSS! 🎬👏🏽
AAAAAHHHHHH, YES! Seeing writer-director @kristensreality and the entire cast and creative team properly recognized made me wish more vertical dramas did this because every frame, costume, location, edit, and emotional beat carries so much unseen craft, and seeing all their names roll made the whole thing feel even more cinematic and alive.

Ultimately, this story reminded me that we don’t have to be perfect to be worthy of love; we just need the courage to be seen as we truly are.

I’m still thinking about Peyton and Chase, and I’m so excited for you to experience this journey too!
