Roulette Films is the name of my YouTube channel. Here, I post reviews of movies, television, or simply anything I find worth discussing and connecting with. In addition to analyzing what’s out now, I frequently break down older films or shows. Analysis of story structure, character arcs, and emotional themes are found across my reviews. But above all, I have a passion for discussing writing and how our favorite stories come together. Here are a few of my favorite videos on the channel:

Roulette Reviews - Coco

Roulette Reviews - Barbie

Roulette Reviews - Glass Onion

Roulette Reviews - Across The Spider-Verse

I also host my own original content on the Roulette Films channel. Most of this comes from my time at Villanova University, but there’s a few older, less put together pieces from my high school days as well. You can find some footage I’ve shot since relocating to NYC, too. Here are some of my own works that I am particularly fond of for one reason or another:

Russian Roulette

NYC Winter B Roll

COVID The 19th

The Ghost of Saint Mary’s

Production


Above all, I aspire to be a storyteller in some form or another. Whether that means articulating what makes a movie or show have such a special relationship with people, or creating narratives all my own, it excites me like nothing else. Words on a page or scenes in a film have the power to elicit incredible responses from people who truly connect with them. Here are a few snippets of some items I’ve been working on recently. Ones you can’t find as a video on my channel:

Hunt At The Harkness - First 5 pages

A Date...With Destiny - First 5 pages

Nevermore - First 5 pages

HaUNTED - First 5 pages

MY writing


Though presently not working in the entertainment industry, I am hoping to develop relevant and useful skills through my career to be involved in it however I can. Included here is my resume, which details my work experience, education, skills, as well as other groups I have been involved in that are notable or important to me in some way or another.
