My showreel.  I'm trained as a 3D generalist with an additional specialty in 2D VFX.  I have experience as a producer and project manager, and produced four short films over the past year.  Of those, I directed two and wrote three.  I have a varied skill set, and am focused on production management.


The 3 Billy Piñatas is a film I worked on during my master's course.  It is a retelling of The 3 Billy Goats Gruff with a surprising twist.

I was writer, production manager, and director on this project.


János & Alma is the second film I made for my MSc in Animation and VFX.  I was co-producer and completed the 2D animation and VFX and led compositing.


Orpheus Ascending was one of the final films I made for my MSc in Animation and VFX.  It is a VFX/3D animation piece we made using Maya, Nuke, Mari, Photoshop, and other software for filming, match moving, and sound.  I was producer, co-director, and writer on the project, as well as 3D animator.


The Hat Thief was completed during a 48-hour challenge at DJCAD.  I wrote the screenplay, composited and edited sections, applied olde-timey film effects, and created the dialogue and title cards.
