About Me

2008 is an exciting time for Detroit-based Five Clover Films. Our latest set of short films, "Cadence" (2008) and "The Candle" (2007) are currently being submitted to film festivals for their considerations. Check the calendar above for the latest screening information.
We are now in post-production for the pilot episode of the series "NEW DIRECTIONS", which was filmed in October 2007 and will be released in July 2008. Additionally we will be filming two short films, "Strawberry Eulogy" (drama) and "The Bobs 2" (comedy), in June 2008.

In 2006, our second short film "CAUGHT" was accepted to eleven film festivals across the U.S., including the 2006 Big Island Film Festival in Hawaii, the 2006 FAIF International Film Festival in California, and the 2006 Planet Ant Film Festival in Hamtramck, Michigan.
"InZer0" is the local sci-fi series about the broken future, filmed here in Detroit. For the series, I was assistant director for Episode 6 and directed Episode 8, the "Bryce Carter: Younger Than You" reality-TV style episode, which debuted on 12.5.06 to a packed theatre. I was director for the two Inzer0 series fan films "Demeter" and "Demeter: Surrender" which also both premiered at the Royal Oak Main Art Theatre in 2007 as part of the Inzer0 screenings. Check out the "Demeter" myspace site listed below for more info.
I was Executive Producer for "LaughCry" (2007) directed by Matthew Peach from TriOmega Productions, currently being submitted to film festivals in 2008 for consideration. I was also Assistant Director for "Friday Night King" directed by Matthew Peach, which premiered in Royal Oak, MI on 12.14.06.
