Following that, he made his first feature film in 2016, and he directed a horror/comedy stage show at Chicago's famed Second City in 2017. He spoke at several indie filmmaking panels throughout the country for the Days of the Dead-branded horror conventions and has been interviewed on and hosted several podcasts on film.
