43 Degrees North, the feature film that has occupied my every-waking-moment for the past year, has concluded. , We screened the movie on four of the Calendar Islands of Casco Bay, where the movie was primarily filmed. These served as our test screenings, and provided the islanders multiple opportunities to see the movie for free.
We had our world premiere at the CITY THEATER, in Biddeford, Maine which was accompanied by an incredible Q&A, with some of the best questions I have ever received at a film Q&A session. I am incredibly thankful to the City Theater for all they did for us, and the people of Biddeford for being kind and welcoming. I hope to return soon with a follow-up project.​​

ISLAND ADVENTURE
An Atmospheric Short Story
"Island Adventure" will appear in the 2025 edition of THE ISLAND READER multi-art anthology.
​
"Island Adventure" is a reflective, character-driven story about an aging man who spends his days building intricate model boats at his kitchen table.
​The story weaves his present-day solitude with rich memories of his youth on the island he loves—his deep connection to the sea, his time learning from local fishermen, and his quiet longing for a life he never fully claimed.
