Congress Films

ROOM 3

A short film starring, written and produced by me in collaboration with Congress Films, a democratic film club that I helped to found in 2012.  It is the second film installation in a 3 part series entitled "The Past Lives Project."  The collection of films is soft sci-fi and very much in the vein of Black Mirror.  Room 3 played in 6 short film festivals, screened at the Soho House in West Hollywood and won the audience award at the Highland Park Independent Film Festival.  Watch the full film here.  To know more about Room 3 check it out on iMDB.

BLIND HATE

A short film about revenge written and directed by Paul Meredith, a member of Congress Films. I starred in the film and shaved my head for in one of the scenes.  It was incredibly liberating and I'd do it again.  See the full film here and find out more on iMDB.
