About

I’m a writer-director who makes films about our human instinct for connection. My work includes the feature drama STRANGER THINGS, co-directed with Eleanor Burke, which won the Grand Jury Prizes at the Slamdance Film Festival and the Raindance Film Festival, among other awards, and was a New York Times Critics’ Pick.

I am an alum of New York University’s Graduate Film Program, a fellow of the Toronto International Film Festival Talent Lab, and one of Filmmaker Magazine’s 25 New Faces of Independent Film.
