AWARD WINNING SHORT FILM
I GOT YOU BABE
 based on a true story

​An ambitious young woman must decide what she is willing to sacrifice should she marry her boyfriend before midnight, to save him from the Vietnam War draft, due to an executive order signed by President Johnson on August 26, 1965.

AWARD WINNING SHORT FILM
have a little faith

​A rebellious teenager is determined to get kicked out of her new Christian High School and teach the new boy she meets there what it really means to "have a little Faith".
​"I GOT YOU BABE is the kind of heart wrenching period piece that brilliantly builds to nuanced view of a grey area, while simultaneously and equally giving attention to women's issues that always ring relevant."
"It is sometimes refreshing to take a step back into youth, when experiences were new and aching to be seized. Have A Little Faith will ​refresh you, for sure."
