Film Director Work Samples
Each of the Below are samples of my work as a Director (often Writer/Director) rather than a selection of older productions not especially relevant to drama series direction. I've kept it streamlined by using these single character focused excerpts from a short series concept called 'Interloping'. This was the last creative ensemble project I worked on before moving into Arts and Education and corporate media fields.
Interloping:
