Filmbug Pictures is the independent film label I use for my narrative film work.
Through Filmbug, I write, direct, and produce cinematic short films that blend horror, drama, and dark comedy, often centered on strong female leads and underrepresented characters. I collaborate with freelance cast and crew on a project-by-project basis to bring each story to life.
