[ THE SHORT VERSION ]
I came to screen work through several doors—writing and directing my own early film, working production on features and network television, and performing on screen and stage. The roles changed; the education in story, logistics, people, and beautifully controlled chaos carried across all of them.
My first professional film experience was an internship on Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life (2011). It was a fairly absurd place to begin: working inside one of cinema’s most singular productions before I had any ordinary baseline for what a movie set was supposed to be.
Writer and director of the 2007 action short The Lion’s Prey—also known as Just Johnny—made in Martindale, Texas with an estimated budget of $250. Constraint is apparently a genre.
Production work includes Predators (2010), The Eves (2012), How’d You Get So Rich? (2009), and multiple episodes of Friday Night Lights across 2009–2011.
On-screen work includes an uncredited paparazzi role in Pete Smalls Is Dead (2010). Stage work includes twelve years of acting training and the 2025 Austin premiere of Salty Bananas as Wesley Knowles.
