The Blog

Welcome to my corner of the internet. This blog is a collection of thoughts, stories, ideas, projects, and occasional obsessions. You'll find posts about filmmaking, storytelling, theatre, technology, the paranormal, creativity, and whatever else happens to hijack my attention for long enough to make me write about it. I'm a chronic overthinker, which means I have a habit of trying to understand and explain the unexplainable—or sometimes topics that were probably never meant to be explained in the first place. Expect deep dives, personal reflections, behind-the-scenes insights, and the occasional rant about things I have absolutely no business ranting about.
