Biography:

Travis was born in Binghamton, NY and grew up in a small town nearby. His first film was a Jurassic Park fan-film that he made with his friends in the backyard as a little boy, with his mother shooting on a VHS camcorder. After moving to Brooklyn, NY with his wife, Travis self-published a few novels and worked as a freelance writer for a while before eventually producing his first short film during the 2020 pandemic. When he was ready to move on to feature films, he tried his hand at pitching screenplays. After a while, though, he decided to just make his own movies, rather than wait for someone else to make them for him. His first feature, An American Thief (2022), screened virtually at a few local NYC festivals, received a few awards, and then premiered on YouTube. Since then, he's made Chasing Sunset (2022), an experimental romance, and Broken People (2023), a romantic drama that he shot in his hometown.
