Early Worm 2025: Comedy, Action
Early Worm follows an earth worm out for revenge against the seagull that ate his mother, but blinded by rage he makes one mistake… its the wrong seagull.
The film did not initially have a script, so I worked closely with the showrunner and the other storyboard artists in order to create sequences that maintained a good rhythm between the action and comedic beats of the film. I story boarded the worms initial escape, and the first half of his fight with the gull!

Heres The Plan 2025: Comedy, Heist
Heres the plan follows three criminals as they each present their own idea of the perfect heist, only to turn on each other before the job is even started.
I got to work from a script and create rough boards for the ending sequence of the film, where the group begins to turn on each other, and its revealed that one of the criminals has let word of their planned heist slip out. This sequence was a fun opportunity to use character acting to push tension and comedic beats.

Unorthadox 2025: Comedy, Action
Unorthadox is an absurdist comedy that follows a disgraced boxer (Marvin Weiner) turned priest after he accidentally killed his own son in the boxing ring, now he must fend off his sons armour clad boxer friends who want revenge for his death, but unbeknownst to them, Marvin is being helped by an unlikely ally.. his sons ghost.
For the project i got to storyboard the second half of the fight scene between Marvin and "The Goons". The film puts an emphasis on absurdly over the top action, inspired by series like "Jojos Bizarre adventure".

Inheritors 2025- Present: Existential, Disaster, Thriller
Inheritors takes place during an unprecedented global climate disaster that has left much of the northern hemisphere on fire. The Film follows a lone air-force pilot that has been sent to lead an auxiliary waterbomber into the wall of smoke; we explore their efforts to adapt to a mission no-one prepared them for, as well as their struggle to accept the new world they live in.
Inheritors is a film that I have been developing in my own time. I wanted to create a film that voiced my own frustrations as a young individual with little say in how the world is treated, and my love of aircrafts. My primary focus for this project is to develop a Production bible and a completed animatic that pushes me to the limits of my abilities, with an emphasis on improving my staging and character acting abilities.

Radio Quiet Zone 2025- 2026: Horror, Thriller
Radio Quiet Zone (RQZ) follows a radio telescope operator (Tim) as he investigates sudden disappearances and burned up photographs, when he receives a strange signal that gets him closer to the answer than he bargained for.
I have a real interest in building tension and world building through storyboards, RQZ allowed me to delve into techniques and practices commonly used within horror, and push environmental storytelling in order to convey a subtler story.
THANK YOU !!
