"Girls Night" Through Their Eyes 14.11.2025 25:08
In this episode, I do something a little different — I read reviews of my first two short horror films, Girls Night and Girls Night 2 . Some are kind. Some are… not so much. But all of them matter, and are super interesting! I go through what people have written on websites and Letterboxd, and talk about how it feels to see your work reflected through someone else’s eyes — the praise, the criti...
Dancing with the noise 06.11.2025 22:33
In this episode, I open the door into Dancing on my own — the short film that became both a diary and a flashlight. I talk about how it came to life, what I was trying to communicate, and how much of myself still lives inside every frame. Then we shift inward.

Surprise me! — pain, pause, and reinvention 24.10.2025 26:09
In this episode, I’m diving into why I started making horror short films completely solo — no crew, no team, just me (and a lot of caffeine!). I talk about how that creative choice came to be, what the process actually looks like, and how the project Surprise Me! played a big (and difficult) part in that shift. So yeah — come hang out. Whether you're a filmmaker, a horror lover, or just curio...
This isn't therapy, but... 17.10.2025 15:32
In this first episode, I’m kicking things off by sharing what this podcast is all about, why I called it Dancing on my own , and what you can expect going forward. I’ve been making indie horror films solo for over a decade—writing, directing, editing, promoting… all of it. So this space is where I’ll talk about the ups and downs of that journey, dealing with mental health, traumas, sexuality, and...
