As a musician I have a strong sense of rhythm, tone, and timing. I want viewers to be completely in the moment.
Director
I like to create a feel-good vibe on set. Production days are long and everyone is working hard, this creates space for great content.

CREATIVE DIRECTION & FILMMAKING
Creative Director / Filmmaker
—
For 15 years I have worked as a creative director and commercial filmmaker for brands and agencies like Deep Eddy Vodka, John Frieda, Carnival Cruise, and Saatchi & Saatchi.
As a documentary filmmaker my commercial experience has sharpened my ability to make thoughtful, decisive, editorial and directing decisions that compel the story forward.
My experience as a musician and producer influences my approach to editing. The visual rhythm, tone, and feel is like an instrument and the story informs how I should play it.
I'm drawn to rich characters, unlikely heroes, and bold visuals. I appreciate the irreverent, value authenticity, and strong work ethic. I'm drawn to non-pretentious creatives who value collaboration.
