Run Boy Run
Desperate to save his dying brother, Leo Harper joins a crew of small-time criminals for what’s supposed to be a clean, bloodless bank heist. But when the plan violently unravels, Leo wakes up disoriented, covered in blood, and with no memory of what happened.
Haunted by gaps in time and a disturbing new presence—Logan, a cool, calculated figure who seems to know Leo better than he knows himself—Leo spirals into a waking nightmare. As the group scrambles to escape with the stolen money, Leo begins to question what’s real, what’s imagined, and who’s truly in control.
Is Logan a fellow thief? A manipulator? Or something much darker—an echo of Leo’s own fractured mind?
With cops closing in, loyalties breaking, and time running out, Leo must face the horrifying truth: the greatest danger might not be outside—but inside himself.

A Brazilian filmmaker focused on telling bold, emotionally-driven stories through a visual lens. Whether working behind the camera or directing my own pieces, I’m driven by a passion for exploring identity, culture, and human connection. Currently studying film and working across short films, my long-term goal is to write and direct feature films that resonate globally.
