Would You Relive Your Worst Moment To Learn From It?

My short story and now short film, "The Rewind" tackles the idea of reliving a difficult moment in hopes of learning to change your default response and train yourself to react differently in the future. The story was published in September 2024 on the Altered Reality Magazine website. Since then, I have had the amazing opportunity to co-direct the short film adaptation of the story as a stand-alone short film that is currently being submitted to film festivals.

I produced the film with Bryan Felty, who also served as our Production Designer, and Elazon Entertainment's Diana Porter, who I co-directed the film with. We had the rare opportunity to partner with my day job at niwaki to have support for this film as a professional development effort. This brought in significant resources along with design, project management, and on-set producing from Natalie Schraufnagel and cinematography and color grading by Trevor Pendleton. The immense support from niwaki and the cast and crew has made this the most well-executed and most ambitious film I've had the privilege to make to date.
