It's about two friends, Alvin and Deirdre. Deirdre
stops by Alvin's apartment for a short visit and finds him in the midst of reliving his dream of becoming a clown..

I have taken a variety of film directing courses at the New School. Although I have worked in multimedia and film, taking these courses and making films was following a life-long dream to be involved with directing. I wrote, cast, produced and directed The Wait and Tea Time. I used Final Cut Pro on the Mac and edited them, and then had my first screening in January 2007.
In 2008 I've written and directed three new films, The Rush (a companion film to The Wait), Clipboard and The Clown. With the last two films I've made an upgrade in my equipment - HD camera, tripod and external mic and boom, and have been editing with Sony Vegas Platinum.
Clipboard screened at the Big Apple Film Festival in Tribeca in Manhattan in November, 2008. The Clown screened at the NewFilmMakers Spring Festival in April, 2009.
The re-shoot of my newest film Pebble in Your Shoe screened at NewFilmmakers in September 2010 as part of their Summer Series program 'About New York Life'.
