Frank is a narrative short film currently in development, exploring isolation, masculinity, and the blurred line between memory and imagination. Set against a stark urban backdrop, it follows a man’s fragmented recollection of a pivotal night that reshaped his sense of self. The project is currently in development with support from The Gotham Film & Media Institute.
I currently serve as lead producer and creative partner on Frank. I spearheaded our successful fiscal sponsorship with The Gotham Film & Media Institute, enabling us to target grants and high-level donors. I’m overseeing all production setup, including LLC formation, SAG approval, and grant applications.
On the creative side, I’ve consulted on the script, casting strategy, and pitch materials, while designing all visual assets and decks. My role extends across every aspect of development—balancing creative direction, production planning, and long-term fundraising strategy.

Both Eli and Frank were initially conceived as part of a three-part anthology exploring the internal collapse of modern masculinity. While now being developed as standalone shorts, they share a unified tone and creative DNA—and may one day be reassembled under their original working title, Quicksand.
