Middlebrook

While I was born in Manhattan, I grew up in Westport Connecticut. From an early age,

I was engrossed in the visual arts, making home movies and gaming montages. During my freshman year of high school, I turned to a more focused exploration of my interests, taking a storytelling class. Since then, my passion for filmmaking has only continued to grow. At the end of high school, my family and I moved to Fairfield, where we live now. In 2019, I spent the month of July in California, studying directing and producing at the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts. The film my colleagues and I worked on was shot at the Disney Studios' Golden Oak Ranch. It was also selected to represent our class at the program festival. I also took part in the New York University Dramatic Writing Summer Course in 2021. In 2023, I wrote and directed a short film which shot in three different U.S. states. What’s Locked Away was an official selection at the New York Shorts International Film Festival. In May of last year, I graduated from NYU Tisch School of the Arts’ Film & Television Program with a BFA. This past Summer, I studied the craft of acting at the Stella Adler Studio Center for the Arts. Recently, my feature screenplay, Streamer, placed at the 26th International Beverly Hills Film Festival.
