Paper Trains, Independent Short, 2020, Director / Producer

A girl on the cusp of adulthood is torn between the dreams that may be beyond her grasp and the love that is there within reach.

A moody waitress and a compulsive napkin doodler, both with dreams that seem out of reach, find that the only excitement in their unremarkable hometown comes from the incoming trains from faraway places. But when the waitress considers leaving the town for good and the artist plans on applying to art school, unexplored attraction arises between them. They must each choose between their newfound feelings or leave everything behind for a chance at their dreams. This decision will either bring them closer than ever before, or ruin their complicated friendship forever.
