In honor of the upcoming soap opera parody podcast, "It's Always I'm working on with so many talented friends, I've decided to post a #throwbackvideo of the first soap opera parody I co-wrote in 2015 junior year of high school with one of my best friends, Lila called "As The Time Ticks On" After winning first place at Kenmore West's Film Festival, I realized that from then on that I wanted to create films and I would devote it my life's work. I'm still making content to this day with some of my longest and best friends who we continue to support, encourage, and love on one another. Follow It's Always The Butler!

Ever wonder how we chose the paths we go on in life? This is the story about how I decided to become a filmmaker and the beginning of my journey through it all. Why Film Chose Me? is one of my favorite writing pieces I wrote during my college career. Written in the Spring of 2019 for my ENGL 3375: Creative Writing and recorded that same summer with some of my best friends who were through it all; this piece is very near and dear to my heart. I am happy to share this with the world. Also included a short audio trailer of Dracula, Alice, & Holmes: The Mystery of The Night and of course, Bloopers!

This is the fourth exercise of an experimental narrative from my ENGL 3380: RHETORIC & WRITING WITH SOUND class. The story chronicles my experience and process through creating, hosting, and afterthoughts of having a virtue Halloween due to the pandemic.

Here is another audio piece I made about my friend Suek Yi for my ENGL-3380 Rhetoric & Writing in Sound Class. It was fun to get to know her on a deeper level (and do more listening than talking). The original interview was 42 minutes cut down to 4:15.

Here is my first exercise, a soundscape entitled A Birthday Murder, for my ENGL 3380 Rhetoric & Writing with Sound. This is another rendition of an older radio show, my favorite type of mysteries. Who is the killer? You may never know!

Here is my final documentary from my ART-4350-001-Documentary Film/Video, about my friend, Little Brown Mouse. Logline: Former 14-Year Air Force veteran and Native American, "Little Brown Mouse," discusses her 3 years as an art student at UTA.

This is the third exercise I did for my documentary class, in which I was supposed to create a film based on my thoughts and feelings during coronavirus. I was able to get 25 people (myself included); friends, actors, and actresses from New York, Texas, and one even from California to represents the multiple thoughts running through my head. Special thanks to Suryoday, who did an amazing job computer programming and moving the ZOOM boxes to where I wanted them to be, along with helping he finesse the ending. I hope you enjoy it. This film is going to be shown in THIS SUNDAY MAY 31ST, 2020! Link coming soon!

This is my interview is of my dear friend and former coworker Suryoday Basak. Here he talks about his life as a computer science major and his love for music. This was the second exercise for my documentary film class I took at UTA with Bart Wiess.

This is my scene recreation from my directing workshop class at UTA in fall 2018 of Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise. This is the phone scene with Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. I have taken my own creative liberties making it an interracial couple along with setting it in a more modern coffee shop. Link to the original scene: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dSnAaf9r8Ow
