5-0 down in the Icarus Cup Quarter-Final…yet we comebcak to win on Penalties

Posted in Sports by

5–0 down in the Icarus Cup Quarter-Final. Somehow, Williamsburg Town FC clawed it back to win on penalties.
Dead and buried. Legs gone. Heads gone. Pride hanging on by a thread.
But slowly, somehow, we clawed our way back into it. One goal. Then another. And so on.
Extra time. Penalties.
And somehow… we won.
A short film about grassroots football, momentum swings, and the strange belief that no game is ever truly over.
Special thanks to the Icarus Cup and our tournament shirt sponsors FourFourTwo.

The day my drone was located, tracked, confiscated at the FA Cup Final

Posted in Sports by

During the FA Cup Final 2023, I flew my drone around my local area. I was making a short pitstop in the UK, between NYC and Prague and so wanted to get some footage of my hometown. Unbeknownst to me, I flew it into a no-fly zone. It was tracked, located, and confiscated by the Metropolitan Police. Here’s the story of what happened that day.

Qatar 2022: The trip that never happened

This video was supposed to be about our epic adventure to the Middle East. We had gone all-in, booking flights from NYC to Doha, and pre-purchasing tickets to the Final. We just needed England to beat France in the QF. We know that didn’t happen. So naturally, I shrugged off the idea of documenting it – What’s the point of a movie when the climax is a no-show? However, while prepping for the upcoming Euro’s I found the unfinished video of our time in New York during that month…so, here’s the rough cut.

SHORT FILM: East Village Mates (2020)

A scrapbook of shared memories about moving to New York City. I interview some close friends to talk about their journey to the city, and discuss the people and the times we’ve experienced together…including the time we took a camper van to the Hamptons.
