Director Statement

A fan of dark comedy, I've always been interested in the motivations of serial killers. The idea for BYOB was planted in 2013 during a therapy session and later brought to life while at the University of North Texas around 2020. "BYOB (Bring Your Own Body)" is a snippet from a feature I'm working on. I decided to move forward with this piece as a short film since the feature is going in a slightly different direction.​
