ABOUT
"Wanted" is my senior thesis film I directed while attending Hofstra University. I dedicated nearly two years to this film from conceiving the story to the finished cut. With the help of over twenty talented crew members and a fantastic cast, I was able to make "Wanted" a reality. It premiered at Hofstra University's Film Festival and won the award for Best Cinematography. It was later officially accepted into the
69th Cannes International Film Festival's Short Film Corner.
