First feature in the can

We shot my first feature film, How to Build a Fire, in 8 days on location in West Virginia at the end of April (2026). It was truly one of the greatest experiences of my life, and I've been writing a Substack newsletter all about the process.

It's a character-driven dramedy about finding common ground in a politically polarized America, starring Jessica Pohly, Kieran Mulcare, and Quincy Dunn Baker.

LOGLINE: Two New Yorkers, a West Virginian, a red hat, and a big old hunting lodge with no heat. What happens when the yelling stops and we need to build something together?
