Still frame from The Alternative Resolution

When an obsessive programmer causes a catastrophic collapse during a moment of voyeuristic weakness, he’s dragged before his superiors and offered a grotesque ultimatum.

Born and raised in New York City, Harold earned bachelor’s degrees in Film & Television from NYU Tisch and in Business, with a concentration in Finance, from NYU Stern. His work often explores class tension, human absurdity, and existential satire through dark comedy. He associate produced a feature film selected for the Tribeca Film Festival’s Work-In-Progress 2026 section and recently produced a feature film. He is the co-founder of Kilohertz, a New York-based filmmaking collective of emerging artists from NYU Tisch. Harold is a Telluride Film Festival Student Symposium Fellow, the recipient of NYU Tisch’s Jagat Murari Directing Award, and an official selection for CAA’s Moebius Short Film Showcase for emerging filmmakers.
