Tom Hornets follows a former forensics photographer haunted by the images of his past, searching for a fresh start but soon entangled with Curtis Dombroski, a ruthless slumlord thriving amid Canada’s collapsing housing system. Set against the backdrop of a widening wealth gap and a culture adrift in apathy and disconnection, the film captures the quiet desperation of those priced out of stability as Tom uncovers the systemic greed and corruption that allow people like Dombroski to prosper, revealing a society where the dream of homeownership has become a haunting illusion.

Most of what I share here is rooted in love—weddings, family stories, community work, and branding. I truly love helping people and businesses tell meaningful, beautiful stories. It’s the heart of what I do.

But... horror is where I started.
It’s my favourite genre. It’s where my storytelling instincts get to run wild. Creepy, surreal, emotional—it gives me room to explore the darker corners of the human experience in a way that’s just pure fun and full of creative freedom.

So if you’re used to seeing joyful wedding reels and small biz highlights, this one’s a little different.

⚠️ CONTENT WARNING: This trailer may be scary or unsettling for some viewers. Please watch with that in mind!

The full film will be released this HALLOWEEN—just in time for spooky season. I can’t wait to share it with you all.

Watch the trailer below… if you dare ;)
