This site is primarily designed to be a storehouse for my various artworks, whether filmic, musical, or still. It also will serve as a way for interested individuals to learn more about who I am and what I do.

My main project right now is a short fan film based on the CASTLEVANIA mythos. Inspired by the do-it-yourself attitude of Robert Rodriguez and the director of the acclaimed Batman: Dead End, I set out to stake my claim in the trenches of guerilla film-making.

Castlevania: Prelude to War, expands on the rich storyline of the Belmont Clan and their battles with Lord Dracula. A prequel to the first recorded quest of Simon Belmont, the story illustrates how his initial battle with Vlad came to be. Additionally, the story illustrates his role in a secret Romanian sect sworn to combat evil in their homeland. Finally, this project will serve as a narrative starting point to a Castlevania feature film I dream of doing.

Prelude to War follows in the tradition of recent Castlevania game titles, with a romanticized musical style describing a mood or plot element contained within the story.
