A story of a man caught in an abuse relationship and the 24 hours of conversations he has which leads him decide to walk away from the situation, his life, and the one man we learn gave him true love for the first time in his life.
Over the next several year he would continue to act and find independent pictures to work on and develop is producing and production management craft. At a certain point he found that his academic knowledge of accounting and analytical thinking were perfect for line producing.
In 2007 he went to the New York Film academy to continue his producing education. While in school he wrote a follow up script to his film WHY. In this new tale LOVE FINALLY he takes his lead character and his true love and places them into an original musical dramedy. it tells the story of how the two met and their final outcome in the future.

Till in November of 2023 the stars aligned and he was able to complete his short film shooting the dramatic elements and debut as a first time director. He is currently working on the feature version shooting all of the musical sequences with the goal of premiering the feature at Sundance 2025.
