Connor is a director and producer born in Oakland and raised in the DMV.
Following selections for the Gotham Institute’s TV Series Fellowship (‘22) and the Geffen School of Drama at Yale’s Directing Lab (‘22), Connor produced his debut short, ‘On The Line.’ This coming-of-age action-sports short premiered this March at Mammoth Film Festival and garnered a nomination for Best Cinematography at Cannes Shorts Fest. Since then his screenwriting work has received accolades at the Beverly Hills International Film Festival, Outstanding Screenplay’s Shorts Competition, and the Los Angeles International Screenplay Awards.
His long-term vision is to direct -- across film, TV, and stage – projects that entertain, educate, and allow us to empathize with one another. Currently he’s focusing his writer-directing efforts on YA/college-aged programming in the drama, indie, action/adventure and sci-fi spaces.
