King’s Court
is a fast-paced look at friendship, family and the journey to manhood in modern society, This National Film Board short film blurs the line between documentary and fiction, immersing viewers in the raw emotions and struggles of two lifelong friends in Toronto’s Bleecker Street neighbourhood—one of Canada’s most diverse and densely populated areas. Through engaging, cinematic storytelling both on and off their favourite basketball court, we root for these inspiring young men in pursuit of identity and acceptance.

His 2019 debut feature, Altar Boy—produced with Mark Bacolcol through New Radio Pictures—is currently streaming on Netflix. His second feature, Lovely, is releasing in 2025.
