"Our Father," is my directorial debut! an intimate documentary shaped by grief, gratitude, and love. Created in the early days of COVID-19, the film follows the life and legacy of Father Fred Mazzarella, a priest who served with the Toronto Police for nearly two decades and whose mentorship helped shape my outlook on life.
The documentary screened on the festival circuit and earned a Best Documentary nomination at the Toronto Film School Festival of Films. This project is both a tribute and a time capsule, made to keep his story alive.

Created in collaboration with a friend, No Good Deed Goes Unpunished is a comedy told through 15 still frames. The project was an exercise in visual storytelling—building pacing, clarity, and humour through images alone. Enjoy the film!
Edward’s Surprise is my first project edited in Avid Media Composer. I wrote the script and brought together a group of friends to bring the story to life.
The premise is simple: a group of friends plan an over-the-top surprise for their friend, Edward. This short was a fun early step in my filmmaking journey, combining scripting, performance, and pacing in the edit. I hope you enjoy it!

This project pushed me as a director, from planning and performance to pacing and delivery. I’m proud of the result and grateful for the learning experience. Enjoy, and let’s help keep our planet moving in the right direction.
