  His films include "A Tree. A Rock. A Cloud." (directed by Karen Allen and winner for Best International Short at Manchester Film Festival), “'A' My Name Is" (directed by Sarah T. Schwab), and the upcoming film "Life After You" "A Tree. A Rock. A Cloud." Based on the short story by Carson McCullers, the film was adapted for the screen & directed by Actor/Director Karen Allen and starred Jeffrey DeMunn, James McMenamin & Jackson Smith. The film appeared in over 20 festivals including Hollyshorts, River Run, Port Townsend, Rhode Island, New York Shorts, and Woods Hole. It was the Winner of the Best International Short Film at the Manchester Film Festival. "'A' My Name Is" A young girl with early stage cancer has a late-night adventure in a hospital that culminates in the consideration of her mortality. With subtle and playful grace, the film explores the transition from childhood into adulthood through the eyes of a sick youth. The film has gone on to tour the festival circuit internationally, and was recently awarded “Best Lead Actress In A Short Film” at the Nice International Film Festival, and is nominated for “Best Director Of A Short Film” at the Madrid International Film Festival. "Life After You" “Life After You” is a narrative feature film centered around a suburban New Jersey family’s struggle with the death of their 19 year-old son, following an overdose of heroin that was laced with fentanyl. The film, which explores the question of who and what is responsible for this tragedy, is inspired by the book, “Life After You: What Your Death From Drugs Leaves Behind” by Linda Lajterman. We hope our film sparks a much-needed dialogue among parents, teenagers, and officials who are in a position to address the heroin epidemic. Show less
