YOUNG ENTERTAINERS AWARDS

JUNE 20th 2026 - Harmony Gold Theatre

I was so honored to have even been nominated for some of my favorite projects that came out between 2024-2025.

Taking home Best Young Actor in a Voice-Over Performance (Firebuds - Disney) and Best Young Writer (Cupid’s Treacherous Journey) meant so much to me.

Our film was accepted into The Los Angeles International Children’s Film Festival, screening at WonderCon 2026 in Anaheim. Reach out for tickets!
