DIRECTOR STATEMENT

I'm a recent graduate from Muhlenberg College, born and raised in Emmaus, PA. I created "Yesterday in Owl's Head" along with a wonderful team of fellow 'Berg students as my senior thesis film, and we are finally prepared and excited to begin our festival circuit. Diverting from my acting background, I wrote and directed "Owl's Head" to explore loneliness, forging our own paths in life, and the unexpected bonds we can form when tragedy strikes, set in the outskirts of fictitious small-town Owl's Head, PA. It stars Ava Mattson, Nate Stratton, and Sully Grace, was co-produced by Camille Ladendorf and Max Rose, with cinematography by Jacob Swartz and Jake Weisblatt.
