Clips from the Emmy Nominated
‘A House Divided’ & ‘Bronx SIU’
and the romantic Comedy ‘Christmas 4 Sale’.
“a few that I enjoyed not only creating, but as a fan.”
A House Divided
Demetria McKinney & Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs
Cameron finds out his wife was just held at gun point.
“I loved blocking this moment. So much is happening here. Each person has done terrible things and their armor is starting to dent as plans and plots quickly unravel.”
It’s corny, but at times, I love a good montage …
This one is from Bronx SIU, a dark and gritty police Crime Drama. In these moments, a character is dealing with the fall out of being kidnapped and having all her beliefs challenged. The rest of the team starts to fracture …
This montage is also from Bronx SIU. In these final moments, everything comes unraveled. Secrets are exposed and our main character, played by Shanti Lowry, our lead detective, finally breaks and goes on a violent rampage.
