In 2016 McAbee wrote and directed the award winning horror short, Night Terrors starring scream queen legend Laurene Landon, TSOL vocalist Jack Grisham and Alexa Najera. That season, the short won Best Horror Short (LA Film Awards), Best Director (RIP Film Fest) & Best Short Screenplay (iHorror Film Fest) and is available on Amazon.

Because of Night Terror's success, McAbee was hired to write and direct his first feature, For The Love of Jessee. It stars Randy Wayne, Mandahla Rose and Adrienne Barbeau. The script won Best Dramatic Screenplay at the Burbank Film Festival and is distributed worldwide by BMG Global.

After working together on For The Love of Jessee, Kelly Kula asked McAbee to write her an action comedy. McAbee went in another direction and wrote Nova instead. With the help of DP extraordinaire, David C. Smith, they created the one take transformation scene and shot the film in two days.
