Love at First Sight
Amaan was never the kind of boy who believed in love stories. He always thought they were exaggerated tales people told to make life sound more colorful than it really was. But on the first day of college, that belief shattered like fragile glass.

Searching For Ali
Oh Ali, I'm stuck. This morning I feel your hand at play. Uncertainty fuels my intention, my goal. It's been a good lead up. The morning news was not unsettling. Food is appropriate. Only one coffee. A pleasant phone call. The sun is shining. I've done all that is necessary. But here I am again. All I need is to turn that key. To sound off verbally. "The door is locked". To remember that fact, and to walk away. And to walk away. To walk away..

A Sad Fourth of July
In a place where there used to be picnics, fireworks and many people now there is nothing but rotting picnic tables and shelters falling down where the people used to watch the fireworks. No one knows what really happened or why it just seemed to just stop. Could it have been that there were just too many rules or was it just too expensive to continue. No one really knows. The Fourth of July a day of excitement and fun is now only a memory of days gone by no longer a day of fun, but one can still remember.

❤rian’s Night: When the Dark Almost Won❤
It was late at night. The wind whispered through the cracked window of a small room, lit only by a dying bulb. Arian sat on the edge of his bed, his hands gripping his face, his shoulders trembling — not from cold, but from the weight of everything he had tried to carry for too long.

Her Other Life
The house was too quiet now. Quiet in the way of old tombs, where even the air forgets to move. Clara sat by the window, pale light of dawn staining her face in ashen hues. The cracked glass trembled against the wind, but the storm was inside her - raging, constant, endless.

"Collateral" is now in pre production.
Recently I received comments on social media from a former colleague who was interested in how I was funding production for Collateral. I had intended to shoot it with iPhone, very barebones, and save the heavy production costs for post editing with special effects for the finale.

Hot Spell
Another hot and humid day in the Deep South. What to do when you walk out your front door at 6AM and you are slammed in the face with a hot breeze even before the sunrise, but you got to do what you got to and your dog needs to do something, so you walk your dog. It's so sultry outside that all the windows in the house are condensed in water for you have the AC on consistently just to stay cool. Oh, these hot and humid days of a Southern summertime makes you wish for a good snowstorm.
