Rye Mother

Production photos by Katie Brock, Holding Life Still Photography

​​In July of 2020 I was approached by an old college friend who wanted to do a short film project. He asked me to write the screenplay and direct alongside him. After a few months and a number of drafts, I had the pleasure of co-directing my first short film, Rye Mother, in October.
