Short Film - Writer, Director, Producer, Actor
Update
My debut short film, Autumn Serenade, is currently in the submission process for short film festivals, hence the reason why is it not yet online. At this point in time, it has been accepted by two film festivals, East Village New York Film Festival and Florence Film Festival. It is also a finalist in the Onirons Film Awards - New York. It has yet to make its world premier.
​
Logline​​
Harry, a man in his mid-20s, confronts his identity and sexuality while searching for connection on two dates in New York.
​
Synopsis​
Autumn Serenade is a romantic dramedy short film about Harry, a man in his mid-20s, confronting his identity and sexuality as he searches for connection on two dates, set against the autumnal backdrop of New York City and the Hudson Valley. This heartfelt and surrealist story explores difficulties with modern dating through the perspective of a bisexual man.
Director’s Statement​
I wanted to tell a story that reflects some challenges I’ve experienced with dating as an openly bisexual man—a perspective I rarely see portrayed on-screen authentically. Autumn Serenade is a deeply personal film, inspired by my real life. With the project, I hope to spark discourse around the intersection of bisexuality and masculinity in the modern dating scene.
