We made a tense mini-thriller series "Blood Money" about the dark secrets of a billionaire family. Check out Episode 1!

Hey everyone! I wanted to share the first episode of our new project. It's a story about a young nurse who, on her very first day working for a wealthy old man, realizes she's stepped right into the middle of a brutal inheritance war and the hidden secrets of her own mother.

I'd love to hear your feedback on the atmosphere, color grading, and pacing. What do you think of the cliffhanger at the end?

In Due Time | Official Shortfilm

My first narrative short film is finally up!!

I’m a marketing agency/music video DP who’s wanting to start directing narrative film. I realized the best way to do that was to build a project from the ground up, so I decided to make a western!

Some background:
⁃ From Feb-April 2024, my producer and I wrote the script and ironed out pre-production logistics.
⁃ We shot it in 1 long day, and 2 1/2 days in June.
⁃ Then in post-production (including a soundtrack https://open.spotify.com/album/1a2WK5MA2SoDGx9iB6jlsN?si=RiJwSiUERg-1qrsT3j6Clw) until the following March.
⁃ We spent the next year+ in the film festival circuit until June 2026.

It’s self-funded and made almost entirely with the help of local crew, friends, and family who wanted to make something we were proud of!

I’ve learned a ton throughout each phase of this project, really forcing myself slow down to fully see each process through.

If you have a few minutes to spare, I’d love for you to give it a watch, maybe send it to a buddy who’d enjoy :)

On to the next!

Ruins Ignite (2025) - Sci-Fi / Action Adventure

I spent the better part of 2025 making this short film. Basically no-budget, but a lot of effort went into making it at least look as professional as I could.

Tagline: In Norway’s oldest city, an adventurer stumbles upon traces of a forgotten secret guarded by the mysterious order 'Light of the Baglers'. Drawn deeper into the mystery, he finds himself face to face with an ancient power and a deadly confrontation atop the historic "Slottsfjellet".

The Cursed Camera [Short Film]

This is a short film inspired by The Twilight Zone. I wrote and directed it, and I’d love to get your feedback, as we’re a new team making movies out of pure passion.

Since we were racing against the clock during filming, I did my best to bring out the top performances from the actors (who are actually my friends). I aimed for a dark, serious tone blended with a touch of comedy. There might still be some rough edges, so I’d really appreciate your thoughts and suggestions. Thank you!

A Pale Blue Dot (2023) - Sci-Fi / Drama

It’s a poignant reflection on love, loss, and acceptance. I wanted to capture the heavy, lingering weight of grief, but also the quiet beauty of the impressions people leave behind in our lives.
