Director, producer
Creating high-impact digital content & national commercials
Branded Content & Commercials
My directing work.
Feature Film
HOLD THE FORT (2026) is an absurd William Bagley action-comedy with satirical horror elements I produced. The film follows a young couple moving to the suburbs, only to be trapped in an epic battle between their seedy HOA and an onslaught of monsters from hell.
Original Work
In a former life, I created highly produced comedy sketches.
About
For over two decades, through my company Papertown, I've directed and produced national broadcast commercials and high-impact digital content for top brands, both directly and through leading agencies. I'm now also moving into feature films, most recently producing Hold the Fort, which has secured distribution and is scheduled for streaming release.
