In March and April, I had the opportunity to work with the always amazing @diva.productions on a gorgeous little short film. I’m super proud of this one and happy I could work with directors @sophiegrooms and @connor_edwards78 who are both so very talented!
This entire team was so great to work with 💜🎬🎥

Ps. @fair.ithilien Evan is an outstanding actor and scene partner!! 🖤

One of our favorite parts of the festival.

Hearing filmmakers talk about their work, answer questions, and connect with the audience!

These moments are why we do this.

⭐️2025 COMEDY NOMINEES⭐️

🎬The Route
Pablo travels on the road with his girlfriend Belen and his cousin Mauro to his grandmother’s wake. But a heavy fog stops them. Pablo’s desire to arrive and comply with family mandates, Maxi’s fear of continuing and the uncomfortable situation that Belen enters show that problems travel with us.

🎬 The Time Capsule
Four childhood friends reunite to dig up a time capsule after 30 years... and encounter some unexpected visitors.

🎬She Screams At Night
A babysitter, Janine, is tasked with watching Tracey, a child who suffers from night terrors and screams throughout the night. Assured that she need not check on the child and invited to bring a friend over if she gets lonely, Janine opts to bring over her girlfriend, Mary. But when Mary can’t bear to listen to the baby scream anymore, she forces her girlfriend to go upstairs and check on the baby... and what they find is far more sinister than they could have imagined.

🎬MACHO!
An Englishman on holiday has a life-changing experience whilst encountering one of the locals.

🍿Experience these films only at 512 ATX Short Film Festival 2025.

Witch Baby Daddy 🧙🏾‍♀️🔮✨ wrapped filming this weekend and it was the most magical (pun intended) and wonderful experience i’ve ever had on a set of my own.

There was a time I thought this wasn’t gonna happen and we’d have to cancel and so for it to be complete now and look SO GOOD, is beyond. I wouldn’t have been able to do this without my amazing cast & crew. If I can have this exact same crew for every project I do going forward, I’ll be the luckiest girl in the world. I miss being on set with you guys already. I can now confidently say my first project post-grad was an absolute success.

Special shout out to @cine.kate who this film would not have happened without. You have been my rock, by my side this whole time and never giving up on me or letting me give up on myself. I was before, but please know I am forever in your corner.

HUGE thanks to Andrea, owner of @triplesixsocial and Trena, owner of @thepurpletoad.tx for being so, so kind and collaborating with us and allowing us to shoot at their wonderful locations. If you’re in need of gothic vibes, good food & coffee then please go to Triple Six Social (and get a brown recluse!) and if you’re a Witch or are interested in it at all, or just wanna go to a cool shop, then please go to The Purple Toad, everyone there is amazing.

To my cast: @cydarie @jacque_perez03 @bowssanderos @parzival8108 @yan_215215 I couldn’t have asked for better, you breathed life into these characters I thought up in ways I couldn’t even imagine. YOU are the reason this short is as good as it is. Thank you a million times over.

Super excited for the next steps! Be on the lookout for more information regarding the premiere in October and the hopeful festival runs to follow! Don’t forget we’re crowdfunding for post-production costs! The link is in my bio and on my website!
