LATEST PROJECT
BARNACLES blends the tender intimacy of Call Me by Your Name with the raw grit of The Deadliest Catch. The story follows Charlie, a young deckhand, as he navigates a life of crabbing on his Dad’s boat. When a loathsome new crewmate threatens to upend his standing on the Rosebud, he’s set on a journey to reconcile his grief and find tenderness in a harsh world.
