Twofer is a short film written by Noel Thompson and directed by yours truly. It's a dark and twisty tale of a woman in distress on the side of the road and the handsome stranger who stops to help her. A thrilling under-10-minutes short film, our producer Sommer Garcia Saqr was awarded the Support for Artists and Creative Individuals grant from the Houston Arts Alliance to help fund production and selected as a quarterfinalist for the Chimaera Films TO.GET.HER Finishing Funds and the Roadmap Writers Shorts Competition. Premiering in March 2025 at the Houston Latino Film Festival, the film has gone on to receive a Best Film Director Award at the HAPIE Awards and Best Special Effects at the Horrorific Women Film Festival! Check out the teaser trailer below. Releasing publicly on Halloween 2026 on YouTube!!

It's been an exciting opportunity to stretch my directing skills with a project that I'm not the writer on, and it's been freeing to make a short where the primary objective is to experiment and explore the craft of filmmaking. I've been digitizing my old USC student projects and feeling that pull to just have fun and collaborate. Here are some reference images from our development:
