Off the Wall

Creative Scope

Off the Wall is a short film that centers on Lenny’s regret after he sells his most treasured possession, an ugly painting that leaves a stark, empty spot on his wall. The film is a satire that portrays the lengths an obsessive man will go to restore structure to his life.

As the Director and Producer of Off the Wall, I managed the casting process, secured locations and permits, and negotiated SAG-AFTRA contracts. In addition to assembling a talented cast, which included Thomas F. Walsh, known for his role alongside Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind, I created a comprehensive 300-page production book. My alma mater, the New York Film Academy, has since adopted this production book as a teaching tool.

With a clear creative vision and intensive pre-production planning, I was able to attract and cast celebrated actor Jorge Consejo on the project. The result was a lauded short film featuring a notable cast set against the backdrop of New York. Off the Wall was praised for its unique cinematography, quirky style, and artistic vision.
