AT WILL is a psychological thriller that unfolds during a mysterious corporate job interview, but quickly spirals into something far darker. The story follows James, a driven young professional looking to get ahead, who soon realizes this is no ordinary hiring process. As he's pushed through a series of increasingly personal and manipulative questions, he’s forced to confront a reckoning between ambition and love and the true cost of success.
This short film was shot on location in Miami, FL, and is the first film I've written, produced, directed, and edited. The film stars an incredible cast led by Lou Silver (Tulsa King, Capo Rise To Power) and Eric Newcombe (Dark Waters: Murder In The Deep, Albert & Claude), whose performances bring emotional depth and tension to the story.
Now in post-production with completion scheduled for August 2025, AT WILL will begin its festival submissions in the Spring of 2026.
