Honeymoon Missouri

Honeymoon Missouri is about a lone traveler who’s night at a hotel room veers into sinister territory when she’s given a suite that’s been reserved by another customer.

During quarantine, special effects work in Hollywood dried up. I told myself that if I were to direct a serious picture, now is the time. I wrote the script over the course of a month based on an idea that had been floating around in my head for a few years. I brought a producer on board who’s a good friend and we started fundraising. Within a month, we raised 15k, locked in a location, hired a cast and crew, and began rehearsals. Next month, we were shooting. When I began editing the footage, I thought to myself “holy shit, this is exactly how I imagined it.” Liminal, suspenseful, Hitchcockian. Honeymoon Missouri went on to premiere at numerous festivals, and it even received a few awards, like Best Ensemble Cast at the NYC Indie Shorts Awards, and Best Thriller at the Manhattan Film Festival. Enjoy!
