I have been a professional film critic since 2012, when
I began reviewing films
for Baltimore's local NPR affiliate. When the host of the "Midday Show," Dan Rodricks, left the station in 2015 to devote his energies full-time to his work at
The Baltimore Sun
, I joined him there on
his frequent podcast for the paper's website
. In 2014, I was offered
a show of my own to host
, on a bi-monthly basis, for Dragon Digital Media, broadcast from Howard County, M
aryland, which gave me an opportunity to be the one to choose which films to discuss, and invite guests of my own. But it was not until I began writing for the website
H
ammer to Nail
(
H2N
), which devotes its coverage to micro-budget independent cinema, that I truly got a first-hand sense of the enormous diversity of film production in our contemporary world. In the almost 9 months since I started at
H2N
, it has been my pleasure to view and review illuminating documentaries such as
Searchdog
and
SHU-DE!
, both of which had their post-production sound done at Studio Unknown, as well as bracingly raw narratives like
Claire in Motion
and
The Mend
. I love great commercial entertainment as much as the next guy, but it's good for the soul to know that there's a vibrant alternative when you need it.

ToY is the story of a young, wealthy, talented but naive artist named Chloe (Briana Evigan). She inherited not only her late mother's wealth, but also the thing that took her mother's life and which she's desperate to keep secret. Chloe's newest work leads her to Kat (Kerry Norton), a beautiful but aging call girl. As Kat's career options grow more desperate, and as Chloe fights her own demons, the two women grasp on to each other, offering each other second chances while trying to escape their inevitable decline. ToY shows how sex is given and taken and bought and sold, out of love, lust, pain and desperation, and often just to survive.
