FILM & VIDEO CAREER
Project X Cinema's audience over the years have enjoyed our short films that reflect social problems including road rage, drinking and driving, gun violence, drug abuse, and more. Kaysen’s film work is known for blending gritty realism with stylized visuals, often tackling intense social issues. His upcoming 2025 projects are rumored to be a mix of narrative films and experimental shorts, some of which are loosely interconnected like puzzle pieces scattered across different mediums. These films explore modern relationships in a digital age, the rise of AI and emotional detachment, and the harsh realities of drug culture and gun violence in America. The idea is not to spoon-feed the viewer, but to let them piece things together across his creative universe.
Film Awards
Our film production team has been recognized for true-storytelling by multiple film festivals.
“I wanted to start a new story because after a while, every house I passed by, it always said ‘Saugus Strong.’ Sometimes I feel like there should be at least some sort of a boundary. When I see ‘Saugus Strong’ around every corner I turn, it’s kind of a downer. It doesn’t let you leave the situation.”
