In "Money Bag," viewers experience the adrenaline-fueled chaos of a convenience store robbery through the unique perspective of the bag used to stash the stolen cash. As the robbers plunge into the heist, the bag becomes witness to their desperation, tension, and fleeting moments of recklessness. Through fast-paced sequences and intense action, the film explores the raw emotions and high stakes involved in the criminal underworld, all encapsulated within the confines of this seemingly ordinary object.
Short film 2024
"All of It" follows two old friends on a long-awaited bucket list vacation, only to find themselves stuck on a chaotic bus tour filled with hard-partying twenty-somethings. After one of them steps in to defend a young woman, the journey takes a quieter turn—reflecting on the past, the weight of life’s unfairness, and the simple choice to still do what’s right.
Short film 2025
"Jaime Meet Jaime" follows the journey of a young man named Jaime who grapples with loneliness after his best friend moves away. In his solitude, he discovers companionship in an unexpected place: a new AI model also named Jaime. Through their interactions, Jaime finds solace and joy in their budding friendship, enjoying weeks filled with laughter and shared experiences. However, as their bond deepens, Jaime begins to realize that while the AI companion offers comfort, it cannot fully replace the human connection he longs for. The film delicately explores themes of companionship, technology, and the irreplaceable value of human relationships in an increasingly digital world.
