Private Project

They Genuflect in the Gold Dust


THEY GENUFLECT IN THE GOLD DUST is a short proof of concept taken from a feature script I wrote and plan to shoot in the future once proper funding is in place.

The story centers around a paranoid artist who bumps into four strangers from a treatment facility in Los Angeles and invites them to an underground seance ruled by a domineering matriarch.

Director Statement

I'm looking to build a collective and expand our resources to where we have the space and time to push the boundaries of independent cinema. Collaboration is key and we're fostering a collective of hungry, dedicated artists who want to create like I do. Cinema is my vocation. Writing is my life.
