Projects | FRANK (Short Film / Campaign)

Director / Cinematographer / Editor (2024)

FRANK is a documentary short profiling Denver tattoo artist Frank Simanton. I directed, shot, and edited the film independently, blending black-and-white cinematography, surrealist elements, and archival material to create a psychedelic character study of an uncompromising artist.

The film premiered at the historic Mayan Theatre in Denver as a double feature alongside my short The Process. I led the promotional campaign across social platforms, producing viral video and image content that translated the film’s tone into shareable digital creative. The campaign achieved organic community buzz and contributed to the sale of 110 tickets for a charity screening benefiting Art from Ashes.
