The Day In The Life Of A Test Subject – 02/22/2026

For my semester final in the Digital Media program at Santa Fe College, I had to make a 5 minute long sci-fi short film. There were very little requirements besides A) The script has to be 5 pages long. B) Visual Effects have to be included to a certain degree. My group created a sci-fi comedy “mockumentary” following a college student in the day of his life as a product tester/ human test subject for a secret research facility. I acted as Producer, Editor, and Co-Director for this project. Notably, I also did the composite vfx shots for the portal scenes. This was my most complex project to date, with dozens of props, multiple locations, a real budget, and months of planning. I am very happy with how it turned out.

Three Shot Film – 12/4/2025

For my semester final in the Digital Media program at Santa Fe College, I had to make a short film that tells a basic story is 3 shots. I had a complex list of VFX that I needed to complete, such as green-screening and tracking elements. I also had to make my own soundtrack

PSA short – 02/20/25

While in my Digital Video 1 Class at Santa Fe, We had to make a quick 60 second “P.S.A”. We only had 1-2 days to make it. I chose to make mine as a warning against “drunk driving”, filming with my roommates in my neighborhood. The goal of this project was to “describe a problem and tell a story” while sticking to that 60 second time limit.

Thriller Horror TEST – 12/05/24

As a personal project, I attempted to write and film a horror film about a drug trip gone wrong. I spend 2 months filming, but ultimately ended up having to scrap the project. During this filming I put together a test edit of one of the most complicated scenes: “The Injection” We wanted to give the look and feel of someone being injected by by the drug, without putting the actor in any danger.

This was heavily inspired by scenes from Pulp Fiction, with the focus on being “heavily stylized”

PACT! – 05/20/24

For my group’s final at the Digital Video Tech program in Gainesville High school, We made a short film following three estranged friends and their journey to find a lost treasure from their youth.

Monastic Manor – 04/06/24

While in the Digital Video Tech program at Gainesville High-school, I attempted to make a “Choreographed Martial Arts Short Film” about two burglars breaking into a house deemed “easy pickings” only to discover the security system, a ninja, bearing down on them.

Breaking Bad Recreation – 02/24/24

For the DVT program at Gainesville High-school, our group had to make a “1:1 recreation” of a tv show or movie scene of our choice. We chose the famous scene in S1E2 of Breaking bad when Skyler White confronts Jesse Pinkman, thinking he is selling her husband drugs.

Sometimes Death Is Better – 05/25/23

As my final in 11th grade for Digital Video Tech 2 at GHS, my group attempted to make a “POV found footage” horror short about a group of explorers finding an abandoned laboratory. This is my first time using After effects composition in a project.

Jack Steel: The Case of the Rich Widow – 05/20/23

I act and direct in this Noir style film. As generative AI started gaining more public traction, our group in the DVT program was given the prompt of having to use AI to generate a script for a “mystery short film” and then follow that script to the letter. What came out of it was “Jack steel: The Case of the Rich Widow. This project was very fun to make and features many strange decisions and continuity errors, all followed to the letter from the script that was generated.

Insomnia One Take – 02/24/24

For the DVT program at Gainesville High-school, our group had to make a “one take short”. While we could have cuts, we had to make them as seamless as possible. This project was a lot to fun to attempt.

RED – 02/20/23

In the DVT program, We were given the prompt to “make a short film based around a single color randomly chosen”. We were given the color red. This project has turned into one of the most important project for me. It was the first project I wrote and directed, it was also the first project I filmed that used complex props, actors outside the classroom, and multiple locations.
Even though its a little rough around the edges, this is one of my favorite shorts I’ve made because it was the one that made me realize I wanted to go into a career in the video/film industry.

Its also my most viewed video, bordering 1000 views.

Scratch – 11/22/22

In the DVT program, We attempted to make a horror movie about someone haunted by the “ghost of their evil self”.

The Lab – 11/24/22

My first independent project outside of the DVT program, following two burglars breaking into a laboratory to steal valuable equipment, only to accidentally release the mutant killer inside.

The Delivery – 04/21/22

This is my groups submission to the GHS 24 hour film festival sponsored by Full Sail University. I was in 10th grade when I made this project, and our group was the “youngest” that participated. We ended up winning “Best Film” and as the editor for the project, I won the award for “Best Editing”. In the festival, every group was given a location: The Back-lot at Full Sail, a prop: A pizza box, and a line of dialogue: “always forgive your enemies, nothing annoys them so much”.

I think to this day, this is my fondest film making memory. I also act as the director.

“Creepy Hallway Project” – 04/12/22

For the DVT program at Gainesville High-school, I played the monster and edited this project. It was my first attempt making a horror movie. It is about a security guard discovering a monster stalking him in a non-euclidean hallway.

The Shoeing – 11/24/21

My First short film made in 10th grade of high school for the DVT program. It was originally filmed as a confrontation between two students, as one stepped on the other’s shoe. I messed up recording audio for it, so it turned into a Silent film.
