The Fall

When Michael meets Evie, they believe they're meant for each other. But as the leaves fall and the weather grows colder, their all-too-perfect tale of love at first sight is confronted with reality…

The Fall (2019) is my first feature film, shot on an ultra-low budget with a cast and crew composed entirely of high school students. The film is a love story with a twist, following high school freshmen Michael and Evie as they stumble through the twists and turns of their first relationship. The film was shot over the course of a year, beginning in September of 2018 and concluding in July of 2019.

The Fall has screened at a variety of film festivals, including The Festival of the Arts of Starved Rock County, The Orlando International Film Festival, The Seattle Film Festival, YoungFilmmakers NY and The Golden State Film Festival, in addition to winning several awards including Best Director at the FROSTBITE International Indie Fest, Best Central States Feature at the Central States Indie FanFilmFest, Best Coming of Age Feature at the World Premiere Film Awards, Best Screenplay at the Wake Forest Film Festival and the Rising Star Filmmaker Award at the Method Fest Film Festival.

The film received an 8/10 review from Film Threat, with critic Alan Ng calling it "a remarkable tale of adolescence".

The film is completed and available to watch below.
