Reviews:
“This is a movie that uses a great concept, it has everything built in to make it truly great. However, it doesn’t feel like it sticks the landing in the way it wants to. It ends up becoming overly written in the final act, leading to a lot of things not feeling as earnt as they are revealed.” ★★ Movie Reviews 101
“Zero Hour proves to be a pretty clever little thriller, one that finds the right balance between suspense and jump scares but also throws surprise twists aplenty into the mix and a certain murder mystery kind of feel.” Search My Trash
Director’s statement:
“Growing up, as a child, as far back as I can remember, the only thing I ever wanted to do was get involved in making movies. While multiple childhood friends grew up alongside me with a similar interest, each of them eventually grew out of the phase. However, I didn’t.
As a kid, and then as a teenager, I always found myself either writing stories or holding a video camera. During the summer of 2001, I had the opportunity of spending time at UCLA, where I took part in a film program. Moving over to studying film, drama, and communications at the University of New Orleans, simultaneously, in my late teens, I found myself beginning to work on film productions. Beginning my film career in 2000 and 2001, I went on to work steadily over the following twenty years.
With a visual mind all of my life, I began developing many of my own projects while working on these other movies and shows. In 2022, I wrote, executive produced, and directed ZERO HOUR. With this feature now complete, I’m now shifting my focus to various other projects I’ve written and developed, including but not limited to REAPERS NIGHT, WRAITH, BLACK FRIDAY, etc.
I’ve always loved creating my own stories and the world of make-believe. That’s where I see myself remaining for the rest of my life.”
