Working on the set of 1780 was an experience I will never forget. This film, directed by Dustin Fairbanks, and starring Kevin Spacey and DJ Qualls, was a turning point in my journey. One day, I was driving to my friend’s house and received a text that I’d be working as a PA on set. In that moment, my dream started to become a reality, and this remains as one of my fondest memories.
The set was chaotic, but in the best way possible, as every day brought new challenges and opportunities. Although I made mistakes, I embraced them as chances to grow. I soaked up knowledge like a sponge, learning from cinematographer Tiago Mesquita about framing a shot, receiving advice from producer Spero Stamboulis, pitching film ideas to Dustin Fairbanks, and forming friendships with crew members who shared their diverse perspectives and experiences.
As my first feature film set, 1780 set a high bar. The energy, collaboration, and dedication of the team left an indelible mark on me. I’m grateful for everything I learned and wish the best for everyone involved… this team will be hard to beat.

The Girl In Frame is a short film directed by my friend and Creative genius Dylan Larkin. I had the chance to work with actor Carter Fracul-Conti, who is an absolute workhorse with a ton of talent. Both Dylan and Carter have inspired me to push myself harder, not only because of their incredible hustle, but also their Artistry and commitment to the craft. One of my favorite memories from this set was filming at 7 a.m. on a beach, very very cold, very early, and very unforgettable.

Hey There, Stranger has been an absolute blast to be a part of! I was brought onto the project by fellow student filmmaker Ella Freda, whom I met through the 1780 production. Meeting Bella, Brock, and the rest of the cast has been the true privilege of this experience—they’re fantastic talents, and I genuinely hope to work with them on many more projects down the line. Taking behind-the-scenes photography has been a ton of fun, and one of my favorite memories was just hanging out with Bella and Brock, framing shots and cracking jokes. We had such a good time making the art come to life.
NITTany TALK
STUDENT RUN SHOW (2024-)
LINK: https://www.youtube.com/@psunittanytalk/streams
Nittany Talk is a live, student-run production at Penn State University that I’m proud to be a part of. Similar to Saturday Night Live, it’s a platform for creativity, humor, and collaboration. I co-host the Weekend Update segment with Liv Sweighart, where we deliver jokes about school, world issues, and even take playful digs at each other. It’s an absolute blast every week.
The process is exhilarating. I spend about an hour the night before writing jokes and every Tuesday, we go live at 9:30 PM. Performing live and reading off a teleprompter was a culture shock at first; it was challenging to adapt to the pressure of nailing it in one take. But over time, I’ve grown more comfortable with this aspect of the show. Each episode pushes me to improve and embrace the excitement of live performance.
Nittany Talk has not only sharpened my comedic timing but also taught me resilience and adaptability. The thrill of performing live, combined with the camaraderie of working on this production, makes it an experience I’ll always cherish.
Most recently we had a show in front of a live audience and because we ran out of time to rehearse it was mostly improve here is the link to that show:
SCRIPT WRITING
FINAL DRAFT 13, Script Developments (2024-)
Currently, I am developing scripts using Final Draft 13, diving into the world of storytelling with fresh determination. The journey began on the set of Deadlock when I pitched a film idea to director Dustin Fairbanks. After pitching Dustin my idea, he responded, “good concept… why haven’t you started?” His words stuck with me, and about a month and a half later, here I am, fully immersed in the process.
Right now, I’m juggling three scripts but focusing primarily on the one that I’m most passionate about and hope to bring to life in the coming years. This process has been an exciting blend of creativity, discipline, and discovery, and I’m eager to see where these ideas take me.
Side-note got to talk to Andrew Kevin walker about “seven”, great guy!
thanks Kevin!
TORN
HORROR SHORT FILM (2025)
IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt34493880/?ref_=ttfc_fc_tt
Torn is an upcoming horror short film starring and produced by Pat Romano Jr., with Andrew Reilly as the co-producer. I met Pat and Andrew while working on the set of Deadlock, and after asking Pat if I could contribute in any way, I was brought on as the key production assistant.
This project, set to shoot in March, is an incredible opportunity to collaborate with a talented team. Pat’s goal is to take Torn to film circuits with hopes of eventually turning it into a feature-length film. I’m thrilled to be part of a project with such ambition and potential, and am eager to contribute to its success.
