Create To Change The World
This is the heart of who I am as a filmmaker. I believe that storytelling through film is a powerful tool to inspire, transcend culture, send messages, and impact the world. These are the stories I strive to tell.
In addition to pre-production and production experience, I have significant work in Post-Production. Primarily editing along with visual effects and sound design As well as managing post-production workflows.
The Production gear I use ranges from Sony, RED, and Canon cameras to DJI drones, gimbals, and stabilizers to Arri, Mole-Richardson, and Kino Flo lighting to a wide variety of mics and sound devices.
