INNER FREAK (2023)
Directed by: Derek Cuneo and Kate Monig
I build stories that move - in every sense of the word.
As a queer artist and independent filmmaker, I’m passionate about telling emotionally resonant stories with honesty and intention. I explore the space where animation style meets narrative substance, always chasing that moment when craft and feeling click. My goal is to create work that feels meaningful and lived-in: the kind of stories that reflect a more inclusive, more interesting world. And hopefully, leave you thinking about them long after the credits roll.
MORE FILMS TO COME !
Director, producer, writer, and animator - sometimes all at once, usually while talking to myself and losing track of time.
My short films range from heartfelt children's stories to strange little comedies that play best after midnight. They’ve screened at festivals across the country, including Oscar-qualifying showcases like the Florida Film Festival, RiverRun, and AmDocs: where audiences have laughed, cried, or politely nodded (all acceptable reactions).
Festival life has been a wild, rewarding ride - one that’s helped me sharpen my storytelling and connect with people who love film as much as I do. Whether I’m working solo in my home office or singing to my son and dogs between keyframes, I’m always chasing that perfect mix of heart, humor, and magic.
