Cecily Russo (Best Actress nominee for Dear Eve) plays Mia, the stern house sitter. Accompanying her is Jozef Zekanoski (The Basket Weaver, Surviving the Notch 3), who plays the reckless Caleb. When Caleb's ambitious plan goes awry, the two must fix their mess before Mr. Thompson comes home.

Two months after its release, My Plant! was selected for the Summer 2020 edition of the Alternative Film Festival. The film was a semi-finalist for the Best Comedy Short award.
In September of 2020, My Plant! was a nominee for Short of The Week on the site Shorted Films.

This project stemmed from a script I had been working on at the School of Visual Arts in NYC. It was filmed in late December of 2019, and the post production process was initially delayed due to school work. However, when the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in myself moving back to Rhode Island, I found a lot more time to edit the film.

The film was used as a final project for many of my classes during the semester. My biggest feat on this project was my new approach to sound design. On previous projects I had dabbled in artificial sound, but I really went all-out on My Plant! Almost all of the sounds in the film, besides the lines from Jozef and Cecily, are foley/artificial sound.
