I’m a director with a love of horror, heightened drama and nasty endings.

I’ve supported my filmmaking through twelve+ years working in the art department.

My short, RHYME OR DIE, won Best Screenplay Short at the Manchester FF and Best Horror Short at the Atlanta Underground FF. It has also passed 560k views on Alters Youtube channel (in 5 months).
