Housewarming In Manhattan is coming! This was my first experience working on a feature film set as a Production Assistant. It was fun working with the talented crew bringing this film to life. Thank you @connorhfilm and @hem_allowing for bringing me onto the project. Thank you @dev_on_off and @soleil.sol.sun for making the production department a fun place to work everyday. Can’t wait to see the final cut! #ProductionAssistant #PASetLife #FeatureFilm #FilmSet #BehindTheScenes

That’s a wrap! HOUSEWARMING IN MANHATTAN @housewarming.film

Wrapped September 25, 2026

My first feature film is officially done shooting.

To my cast and crew, more than 30 of the most talented and responsible people I've ever worked with: thank you. We made it through because of you. And to everyone who held me up behind the scenes, I couldn't have done this without you.

For two weeks, we ate and slept on set. Some stories happened inside the frame, and some happened outside it. Only we will ever know them.

It was a thousand times harder than I imagined. I cried more than once. But I loved every moments and every movement on that set. It felt like another world, and I got to live in it.

When the set became overwhelming (everyday..), I reached out to a mentor I deeply respect. He told me what it takes to be a leader, and I realized those were exactly the qualities I still needed to learn. I think I understand now how to make the second film, and the third.

Thank you all again. I will never forget it.

I hope I can make a film or a series every year for the rest of my life. This is just the start. And now time to edit! Please congratulations to our team, my lovely actors @tachyonproject @brianna.2k @bellaglanville @_ianiamian and my producer @hkhhf.h 🎉🎬🫡🎥🔥🫶🏼🥹
