Writer, Director, executive producer

Testimonial: “This film was surprisingly heartwarming and I learned a lot as well. I had no idea the history of the Pony Express. The narrative intertwines personal stories with the broader historical context, creating an immersive and emotionally resonant experience. It was so wonderful to hear all the people still so deeply connected to this important American endeavor. This documentary not only pays homage to a pivotal era in American history but also inspires with its message of resilience and the enduring human spirit. The reenactment scenes were also incredibly cinematic. A truly delightful watch that leaves a lasting impression."
